Windows User-ID Agent Disconnect After Failover

L0 Member

Hi All,

I have a customer who had an issue with the WMI using agentless User-ID due to Microsoft security update.

We decided to move to Windows User-ID Agent installed on a domain member Windows Server 2016.

PAN OS 10.2.2 and installed agent version 10.2.1-101.

In the Data Redistribution i can see the agent is connected.

 

Customer found that if failover occurs, the agent is disconnected.

I was able to reproduce this in a lab running the same configuration on VMware.

I tried to upgrade to 10.2.3-hf2 but still the same behavior.

 

If i run the command "show user user-id-agent config all" on any gateway while secondary is active, i get the following output:
Server error : op command for client useridd timed out as client is not available
When the primary is active, i will get this error only when i run the command on the secondary (passive) gateway. The primary (active) will output the configuration.

 

If i run the command "show user user-id-agent state all" on the secondary when its passive i get the output:

Cannot get config from agent winsrv_user-id_agent: Error: Failed to connect to 10.10.100.30(10.10.100.30):5007
No User-ID Agent agents in vsys vsys1

This makes sense as it is passive and should not be able to connect. But when the secondary is active, i get only:

No User-ID Agent agents in vsys vsys1

 

Anyone has any idea regarding this behavior?
