Thank you for posting message @VishnuPS 

 

If I understand it correctly, you are not able to select source user while creating a new policy? Have you configured Group Mapping Setting? Here is a reference: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClFQCA0 If yes, could you navigate to: Device > User Authentication > Group Mapping Settings > (Name) > Group Include List > Available Group, then type AD Group or User and try to search it by pressing Apply Filter button. If LDAP integration works well, the AD Group or User will appear in the list. All the AD Groups / Users that are available here, should be also selectable in new policy under source user.

 

Kind Regards

Pavel

Hi Pavel,

 

We verified the configurations it's good only.

 

I forgot you telling one thing, actually, I configured the user-id configuration from the panorama. I need to enable anything in the panorama.

Thank you for reply @VishnuPS

 

I see. When it comes to Panorama and pushing user information, there is one difference compared to configuring it locally on Firewall. The format of AD information has to be in Distinguished Name (DN). Here is the KB for reference (Please go to point No.5): https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClIOCA0

After you configure it in this format, and push it to managed Firewall, the user information should be available in security policy.

 

Alternative solution would be to enable one Firewall that already has all information as a Master Device in the Device Group. Here is a KB for reference: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000PMtpCAG

 

I have tested both of the solutions and both were functional.

 

Thank you and Regards

Pavel
