UserID

User ID logs contain IP address-to-username mappings, authentication timestamps, the sources of the IP-to-username mappings, and so forth.
Next-generation firewalls can be configured to perform IP-to-username mappings for a network session. This mapping requires a variety of techniques so that users in all locations, regardless of access method or operating system, can be identified by the firewall. In addition to allowing the firewall to map an IP address to a username, this integration also allow the firewall to recognize when a user has logged in or logged out of a networked resource.
User-ID logs are generated whenever a user authentication event occurs using a resource to which the firewall has visibility. For example, a User-ID agent can be installed on the network so that the firewall has visibility to authentication events on domain controllers, Microsoft Exchange servers, or even Windows clients.
