User-ID Agent: wildcard support in ignore_user_list.txt

L3 Networker

A customer of mine uses a mix of prefixes and suffixes for service and privileged accounts respectively, and needs to ignore these accounts to prevent incorrect mappings. This is especially true where policy applies to non-privileged groups, if a non-privileged user accesses resource with privileged account (e.g. RDP NLA) and their expected policy does not apply.

 

In an ideal world, the ignore-user list should look like this:

*.adm
svc-*

 

The privileged accounts (*.adm) cannot be excluded with a wildcard because it can only be used "as the last character in the entry". In theory this should work for service accounts (svc-*) however that entry is not in the exclude list when viewed from the firewall yet the unsupported entry (*.adm) is:

 

> show user user-id-agent config name {agent}

...

Ignore Users:
*.adm

 

>

 

Is there a simple way to ignore ip-user-mapping for accounts matching a specific suffix, or must we add users individually (or outsource the job to a powershell script)?

suffix wildcards are not supported in the ignore-user-list, you could try to convince your customers to start using .svc just like they did for .adm 🙂

Yeah support speculate it's to prevent potential costly misconfigurations of regex lookups, we've hit our SE up for the FR 🙂
