Recently upgraded to 8.0.9 from 7.1.x with mutiple devices from PA200 up to PA3050, Using UserIdAgent against an MS domain. managed via Panorama. Started getting notifications in thes system log along the lines of 'User Group count of 7492 exceededs threshold of 1000' In UserId -> GroupMapping I have an LDAP search filter that returns only the groups that are relevant to the firewall, 31 in total, & I can see thats correct via "show user group-mapping statistics" so Im guessing that the 7,492 referes to the user-group-mapping information returned from the UserIdAgent in total, ie for all our users there are 7,492 unqiue groups at the moment. I dont appear to be able to filter the information returned by UserIdAgent to just the groups that the firewall needs to know about. The question is should I be worried - I dont seem to have a problem with the user mapping for the 31 groups of interest on the firewall but I would like to get rid of the alert from the logs + there is a certain amount of information leakage in that firewall administrators can see users full group membership from AD via "show user user-ids match-user" when really they should only be concerned with the 31 groups that control firewall permissions.
