Symptom
- Non-GP Firewall is connected to User-ID agent containing IP-to-user mappings for domain-joined users.
- Non-domain users connect to GP Gateway Firewall where IP-to-user mappings are created.
- GP mappings are not visible on non-GP Firewall that is behind the Gateway Firewall.
Environment
- Palo Alto Firewalls
- Supported PAN-OS
- GlobalProtect (GP) Gateway
- User-ID Redistribution
Cause
User-ID redistribution needs to be configured.
Resolution
- Non-GP Firewall can receive GP mappings from Gateway Firewall using User-ID Redistribution.
- Step 4 in the above document shows the Collector settings that need to be configured in Gateway Firewall.
- Step 2 shows adding the Gateway Firewall as Redistribution agent on non-GP Firewall to receives the mappings.
