The Identity Collector Check Point dedicated client agent installed on Windows Servers in your network. Identity Collector collects information about identities and their associated IP addresses, and sends it to the Check Point Security Gateways for identity enforcement. For more information, see sk108235. You can download the Identity Collector package from sk134312. supports these Identity Sources:

NetIQ eDirectory Servers (requires Identity Awareness Check Point Software Blade on a Security Gateway that enforces network access and audits data based on network location, the identity of the user, and the identity of the computer. Acronym: IDA. Gateway R80.20 and higher)

If you install Identity Collector directly on the Domain Controllers (DCs) (including Windows Firewall), make sure the Windows Firewall rules allow DNS, LDAP, and DCOM traffic from the computer on which Identity Collector is installed.

LDAP Account Unit(s) must be configured to allow PDP Check Point Identity Awareness Security Gateway that acts as Policy Decision Point: acquires identities from identity sources; shares identities with other gateways. Identity Awareness Gateways to perform group lookups for user and machine identities.

A Query Pool is an object, which contains a number of Identity Sources. Each Query Pool is assigned to one Identity Awareness Check Point Software Blade on a Security Gateway that enforces network access and audits data based on network location, the identity of the user, and the identity of the computer. Acronym: IDA. Gateway. The Identity Collector collects information from the Identity Sources in the Query Pools and sends the information to the Identity Awareness Gateways.

The administrator in addition wants the Europe Identity Awareness Gateway 1 and Europe Identity Awareness Gateway 2 to get the events from all the 6 Active Directory Domain Controllers in the Euro.com domain.

I would like to help you mate, but you provided too few information of what's not working for you after your switch to identity collector. maybe you could structure what you did, add some screen shots of what you've done already and what you need now.. just give as a little more to work with.

I like that identity collector can ignore RDP events from the initiating computer, but I'm unsure if it has the ability to do single user assumption, or if this is assumed by default. We have many shared computers where we want the current logged in user to be the assumed single user.

I saw you have mentioned this is the desired behavior for you. If there is someone needs this to be changed (to be configurable), you are welcome to open RFE with your local office and discuss it with me.

It's partially true. Only single user is supported per IP address but the latest security event will determine user-IP association. For example, user A currently associated with IP x.x.x.x. Then this user runs an application as another user B on the same machine. That will trigger security event that will be passed onto IDC and as a result now IP x.x.x.x will be associated with user B.

At least that's how it works for us and is causing headaches as we have typically two user IDs on aa machine. I know that version that supports two user IDs per IP is coming out but it doesn't sound that will help you.

Are you saying that the Identity Collector does single user assumption? In example, the most recent user login event for an IP is the one that is associated with the IP, and previous user associations are revoked.

This is the only case I need from Identity Collector, as I can make exemptions for any machines that have simultaneous remote sessions (for us would only be a few servers, all other computers only allow one user signed in at a time).

Recently we decided to migrate to Identity Collector instead. It works well but we noted that now there is only one identity per IP identified by Indentity awareness, we checked Gateway and Identity collector Settings, it seems with this method there is not the prossibility to have multiple identities for on IP.

Multiple users are supported on Windows 10 by deploying MUHv2 to the relevant machines:

Without deploying an agent, I believe this is still an RFE that should be addressed with your local Check Point office.

These two Panorama appliances are in different sites - though there is plenty of bandwidth and a few tens of ms latency between them. Currently, each appliance has only a single 2TB assigned to them. We don't plan to change from this setup or utilise dedicated log collectors anytime soon, and log retention fits within requirements.

Regarding multiple collectors in a collector group, I have read you can achieve redundancy, increase log retention and exceed logging rates. I am aware you need to check the box for enable log redundancy across collectors. I am also mindful that the logging rate is half - so I am not sure how the logging rates are exceeded if this happens?!

Regarding a single collector for each collector group, nothing seems to be mentioned or indicates anything about this. Why would I use this over multiple collectors in a single collector group? I know if the secondary appliance is down or lost, we lose those logs. I also assume you can still set the Log Forwarding Preferences list for both collectors in separate groups?

you mentioned that latency is a few tens of milliseconds between each of the Panorama appliance. This could actually be an issue if both Panorama local log collectors are in the same log collector group. The latency between each of the log collector in the same log collector group should not exceed 10 milliseconds. Please have a look at this KB for more details: =kA10g000000CmUnCAK

In nutshell, if you have 2 log collectors in a single collector group and one log collector is down, the other log collector will stop working as well. The workaround is either separate each log collector into own collector group or have 3 log collectors inside the same log collector group.

Regarding n/2+1, 2 log collectors in a single log collector group will work fine, however keep in mind that in worst case scenario if one log collector goes down, then the remaining one will not be operational until the one that went down comes back online. Unless you experience an outage on one log collector, you will not hit this limitation.

Is there any reason why you should use Function.identity() instead of str->str (or vice versa). I think that the second option is more readable (a matter of taste of course). But, is there any "real" reason why one should be preferred?

As of the current JRE implementation, Function.identity() will always return the same instance while each occurrence of identifier -> identifier will not only create its own instance but even have a distinct implementation class. For more details, see here.

The reason is that the compiler generates a synthetic method holding the trivial body of that lambda expression (in the case of x->x, equivalent to return identifier;) and tell the runtime to create an implementation of the functional interface calling this method. So the runtime sees only different target methods and the current implementation does not analyze the methods to find out whether certain methods are equivalent.

Palo Alto Networks firewall can be configured as a collector and redistribute user mapping information to other Palo Alto Networks firewalls on your network. This document describes how to configure a redistribution firewall and verify the configuration from the CLI.

To comply with the requirements of personal data regulations, such as the GDPR, you need to provide a way for administrators (data protection officers) to collect personal data stored within the system. This is necessary to resolve personal data queries from data subjects, and requests to transfer personal data to another system or application.

Xperience does not provide any personal data collection functionality by default. This requires exact knowledge of how your project gathers, processes and stores personal data. You need to implement the data collection based on the specifics of your project and the nature of the legal requirements that you wish to fulfill.

When searching for personal data in the Data protection application, users submit real-world identifiers of data subjects (email addresses). To collect personal data, you first need to create Identity collectors that convert these identifiers into Xperience objects representing matching data subjects, such as users (UserInfo) or contacts (ContactInfo).

After you implement Identity collectors, you need to create Data collectors. These collectors retrieve personal data related to the identity objects provided by the registered identity collectors, and process the results into a suitable format. We recommend creating separate data collectors for different object types, depending on the types of personal data that you process in your project.
