blocking machines from AD-group

[skemena]

Is it possible to block outgoing traffic, from an active-directory group containing machines?

blocking traffic by username works fine, but i want to use the machine ad group rather than entering all machines by fqdn or ip in an address group of objects on my pa.

i'm using a pa-3020 on pan-os 5.0.1

thanks

This is not possible as user-ip-mapping is done only for Active directory users and not the for the Computers. So it is not possible to block the traffic from machines in an AD group.

What do you think is the probability to see this in future or is there perhaps already an active request for enhancement available?

Because it would be really nice if one could combine userid and machineid when setting up rules.

this whould be a really nice feature. i've only seen that on my checkpoint systems, appliances from CS or BC are missing that feature too.

Crap this thread is from 2013 and Palo appears to still not be able to map AD Machines for use?

That is going to make this migration from CheckPoint a lot more work and completely change our processes for allowing the help desk to take care of server internet access requests without the network group needing to be involved! 😞

Honestly I am not sure why this hasn't been done as the CheckPoint Identity Collector gathers AD security the same way as the Palo Windows User-ID Agent is... CheckPoint gets the needed information and is it able to do AD Machine mappings so Machines and Machine Groups can be used in access policies.

Shouldn't the Palo User-ID Agent be capable of the same?

Could you also please provide me any documentation on which I can divert the traffic from a group of users in Active Directory to a specific network.

We have two internet connection and I am trying to splitting the group of users in Active Directory to different internet connection.
