User-related fields

User-related data is displayed in the active sessions, users, and user activity tables.

Note

Active sessions for Azure AD realm users are displayed only in the Active Sessions new UI layout and not in the legacy UI.

Active sessions, users, and user activity field descriptions

Field

Description

Active Sessions Table

Users Table

User Activity Table

Active Session Count

The number of active sessions associated with the user.

No

Yes

No

Authentication Type

The type of authentication: No Authentication, Passive Authentication, Active Authentication, Guest Authentication, Failed Authentication, or VPN Authentication.

For more information about the supported identity sources for each Authentication Type, refer to About user identity sources .

Yes

No

Yes

Available for Policy

A value of Yes means the user was retrieved from the user store (for example, Active Directory). )

A value of No means the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center received a report of a login for that user but the user is not in the user store. One way this can happen is if a user in an excluded group logs in to the user store. You can exclude groups from being downloaded when you configure a realm.

Users not available for policy are recorded in the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center but are not sent to managed devices.

No

Yes

No

Count

Note

The Count field is displayed only after you apply a constraint that creates two or more identical rows.

Depending on the table, the number of sessions, users, or activity events that match the information that appears in a particular row.

Yes

Yes

Yes

Current IP

(See also Current IP/Domain and IP address.)

The IP address associated with the host that the user is logged into.

This field is blank in the Users table if there are no active sessions for a user.

Yes

No

No

Department

The user’s department, as obtained by a realm. If there is no department explicitly associated with the user on your servers, the department is listed as whatever default group the server assigns. For example, on Active Directory, this is Users (ad). This field is blank if:

  • You have not configured a realm.

  • The Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center cannot correlate the user in the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center database with an LDAP record (for example, for users added to the database via an AIM, Oracle, or SIP login).

Device

For user activity detected by traffic-based detection or an active authentication identity source, the name of the device that identified the user.

For other types of user activity, the managing Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.

Note

If you have configured your VPN in a high-availability deployment, the device name displayed against active VPN sessions can be the primary or secondary device that identified the user session.

Yes

No

Discovery Application

The application or protocol used to detect the user.

  • For user activity detected by traffic-based detection, one of the following: ldap, pop3, imap, oracle, sip, http, ftp, mdns, or aim.

    Note

    Users are not added to the database based on SMTP logins.

  • For all other user activity: ldap.

Yes

Endpoint Location

The IP address of the network device that used ISE to authenticate the user, as identified by ISE. If you do not configure ISE, this field is blank.

First Name

The user’s first name, as obtained by a realm. This field is blank if:

  • You have not configured a realm.

  • The Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center cannot correlate the user in the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center database with an LDAP record (for example, for users added to the database via an AIM, Oracle, or SIP login).

  • There is no first name associated with the user on your servers.

Yes

Yes

No

IP Address

For User Login user activity, the IP address or internal IP address involved in the login:

  • LDAP, POP3, IMAP, FTP, HTTP, MDNS, and AIM logins — the address of the user’s host

  • SMTP and Oracle logins — the address of the server

  • SIP logins — the address of the session originator

(See also Current IP and Current IP/Domain.)

An associated IP address does not mean the user is the current user for that IP address; when a non-authoritative user logs into a host, that login is recorded in the user and host history. If no authoritative user is associated with the host, a non-authoritative user can be the current user for the host. However, after an authoritative user logs into the host, only a login by another authoritative user changes the current user.

For other types of user activity, this field is blank.

No

No

Yes

Last Name

The user’s last name, as obtained by a realm. This field is blank if:

  • You have not configured a realm.

  • The Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center cannot correlate the user in the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center database with an LDAP record (for example, for users added to the database via an AIM, Oracle, or SIP login).

  • There is no last name associated with the user on your servers.

Yes

Yes

No

Last Seen

The date and time that a session was last initiated (or user data was updated) for the user.

Yes

No

Login Time

The date and time that the session was initiated for the user.

Yes

No

Phone Number

The user’s telephone number, as obtained by a realm. This field is blank if:

  • You have not configured a realm.

  • The Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center cannot correlate the user in the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center database with an LDAP record (for example, for users added to the database via an AIM, Oracle, or SIP login).

  • There is no telephone number associated with the user on your servers.

Yes (as Phone)

Yes

No

Yes

No

No

Start Port

If the user was reported by the TS Agent and their session is currently active, this field identifies the start value for the port range assigned to the user. This field is blank if the user's TS Agent session is inactive or if the user was reported by another identity source.

No

Yes

Time

The time that the system detected the user activity.

No

No

Yes

User

At minimum, this field displays the user's realm and username. For example, Lobby\jsmith, where Lobby is the realm and jsmith is the username.

If a realm downloads additional user data from an LDAP server and the system associates it with a user, this field also displays the user's first name, last name, and type. For example, John Smith (Lobby\jsmith, LDAP), where John Smith is the user's name and LDAP is the type.

Note

Because traffic-based detection can record unsuccessful AIM logins, the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center may store invalid AIM users (for example, if the username is misspelled by the user).

Yes

No

Username

Yes

Yes

Yes

VPN Bytes In

VPN Bytes Out
