User IP-user-mapping incorrect

L3 Networker

(PA3000 series FW running 6.0.2) Getting users being blocked by the captive portal from a local service account running on their machine.. only way around it is to disable the service and/or account and then flush the user to ip mapping cache.  Any way to eliminate this????  It has been added to the "ignore list" text file on the server running pan agents, however, its a local account so its not working.

I believe the exclude list for the subnet will do what you want here and ignore this user account.

I don't want to exclude an entire subnet..  its happening on all subnets with 1 particular local account.

Is this account is used  more than one computer? why it's local?

Do You use AD integration or not? in wchich model: agent or agentless?

With regards

Sorry I misunderstood.

This is the document for adding user accounts to the ignore list.

This account is on every computer.. it automatically gets created and is running a particular Citrix service after installing Citrix Receiver (for our Citrix environment)

Yes, we use AD but its a local acct.  agentless

What do you mean with "blocked by captive portal"? The captive portal should only be shown if the user is unknown. If there is already a user mapping the captive portal rule should not match. Even local accounts should be possible to ignore. Is there a user mapping for the ip if the client is blocked?

**it is being blocked by a local account that does not have or should not have Internet access**

 

Hello,

Are you getting user-ip-mapping from user-id agent or from captive portal authentication?

did you disable WMI/Netbios scanning ? local accounts can only be seen by these means.

WMI probing  = Yes

NetBIOS Probing = No

WMI/NetBIOS Probing Interval = 20

turn WMI probing off then.
