Select User Identification Service for NGFW Engines

You can select the User Identification Service for each NGFW Engine in the Engine Editor.

Each User Identification Service can be associated with one or more NGFW Engines, but only one User Identification Service can be selected for each NGFW Engine.

Note: The Integrated User ID Service is primarily meant for demonstration purposes and proof-of-concept testing of user identification services.
