Redistribute User-ID Information From Prisma Access to an On-Premise Firewall

In cases where mobile users need to access a resource on a remote network location or HQ/data center and the resource is secured by an on-premises next-generation firewall with user-based policies, you must redistribute User-ID mappings from the Prisma Access mobile users and users at remote networks to the on-premises firewall. When the user connects to Prisma Access, it collects this user-to-IP address mapping and stores it.

The following figure shows two mobile users that have an existing IP address-to-username mapping in Prisma Access. Prisma Access then redistributes this mapping by way of a service connection to the on-premises firewall that secures the HQ/data center.

To redistribute User-ID mappings from Prisma Access to an on-premises firewall, complete the following steps.

Before you start this task, find the

User-ID Agent Address

in Prisma Access by selecting

Panorama

Cloud Services

Status

Network Details

, selecting the

Service Connection

radio button, and viewing the information in the

User-ID Agent Address

field.

Configure Prisma Access as a User-ID agent that redistributes user mapping information.

In the Panorama that manages Prisma Access, select
Device
Data Redistribution
Collector Settings
.
Make sure that you have selected the
Service_Conn_Template
in the
Templates
drop-down at the top of the page. The User-ID agent in Prisma Access receives its User-ID mapping from the domain controller in the data center by way of the service connection.
Click the gear icon to edit the settings.
Provide a
Collector Name
and a
Collector Pre-Shared Key
to identify Prisma Access as a User-ID agent.
Click
OK
to save your changes.



Configure the on-premises firewall to collect the User-ID mapping from Prisma Access.

From the on-premises firewall, select
Device
Data Redistribution
Agents
.
Add
a User-ID Agent and give it a
Name
.
Select
Host and Port
.
Enter the
User-ID Agent Address
from Prisma Access in the
Host
field.
Enter the
Collector Name
and
Collector Pre-Shared Key
for the Prisma Access collector you created in Step 1.
Select
IP User Mappings
.
Click
OK
.
Repeat these steps for each service connection.
