Palo Alto Networks NGFW provides several mechanisms for user mapping, which helps in identifying and applying policies based on user identity rather than just IP addresses.
Captive Portal: This method redirects users to a portal where they must authenticate before accessing the network. It captures user credentials and maps them to their IP addresses.
Domain server monitoring: This involves monitoring Active Directory (AD) domain controllers to map users to their respective IP addresses based on login events.
Client probing: This mechanism involves directly querying devices on the network to determine the logged-in user. It's useful for mapping IP addresses to usernames dynamically.
