Identity awareness does not work, routing problem. What are the options for solving the problem?

We plan to use authentication on the FW-B for Internet access and Mobile Access connections

Description of the problem

FW-B uses an external IP (2.2.2.2) address for requests (Identity Avareaness) to DC-1. DC-1 sends a response in the wrong direction, according to routing

Is it possible to configure the FW-B so that it sends requests (Identity Avareaness) using its local IP address as the source interface?

You could do a hide NAT on the traffic from FW-B when it passes through FW-A to go to the DC-1

What do you see if you issue ip route get and then IP of the DC1? just run ip r g 192.168.0.1 on expert mode of firewall B.

Well, if you want it to take different path, just change the route to reflect different interface. It seems at this point its using 2.2.2.2 interface IP with gateway of 2.2.2.1.

What Im saying is, it does not sound logical to use external interface to access something internal from the firewall itself. Just change it to reflect internal interface of the firewall, as long as topology is right.

Yes, it is not logical, I agree. How to change it to reflect internal interface of the firewall?

From web UI or clish. Just change it via web UI in the browser, it takes 15 seconds literally.
