Enabling identity awareness on Gateway

carl_t — Fri, 08 Apr 2022 10:41:11 GMT

Hi All

We want to get some user context so we can see logs and who they are the firewall.

Does enabling identity awareness cause any performance impact on the gateways?

Secondly how do we do it, is it an easy process?

Cheers

See sk86441: ATRG: Identity Awareness and sk88520: Best Practices - Identity Awareness Large Scale Deployment about performance impact. Deployment ease depends on existing AD, number of users and gateways. I would suggest to use Identity Collector and not standard AD Query for performance reasons.
