What is User-ID?

Palo Alto's user identification capability. Maps IP addresses to authenticated user identities for policy and logging.

Why it matters

How User-ID fits into the Palo Alto Networks portfolio.

Source options (AD, syslog, captive portal, agent, agentless). Common UAE integration with Cisco ISE or Microsoft AD. Why User-ID matters for NESA accountability requirements.

CWS implements and operates the Palo Alto Networks features that make User-ID useful in production. Engagements include the configuration, the runbook, and the integration with adjacent tooling. Bilingual handover artifacts are produced where audit and operations teams need them.
