Objective
To auto-populate users and groups in policies for Prisma Access device groups on Panorama
Environment
- Panorama Managed Prisma Access
- Group Policies
Procedure
- Panorama leverages master device's user and group mapping information to auto-populate them in device group policies.
- To allow Panorama to collect group mappings, you need to add a device group, then designate next-generation firewall (Hardware or VM-series) that is already fetching LDAP groups as a master device.
- Since there are no managed firewalls (either Hardware or VM-series) in Prisma Access device groups, some alternatives are as follows,
- Add non-Prisma Access device group with master device associated as a parent device group for Prisma Access.
Limitations:
Auto-population of users and groups is only applicable to the parent device group that is associated with the master device. Auto-Population of users/groups is not applicable to the child device groups (the Mobile_User_Device_Group, Remote_Network_Device_Group, or Service_Conn_Device_Group)
OR
-
- Run the following command on panorama CLI
set device-group Mobile_User_Device_Group master-device device <MASTER_DEVICE_SERIAL>
Where MASTER_DEVICE_SERIAL is the device serial number of the master device on any other Device group on Panorama
Note: Without this feature, user groups can be configured in long dn format (CN=Group1,DC=mydomain,DC=com) on panorama and pushed to the Prisma Access cloud firewalls.
