user-identity propagation enable
Enables or disables the propagation of the user identity (UID) across connection from the same client.
Syntax
[no] user-identity propagation enable
Parameters
None
Usage
The SteelHead collects UIDs from SMB, MAPI over HTTP, and Office 365 SaaS (when enabled) connections. The SteelHead can also use pre-existing SMB and MAPI over HTTP connections where the UID has been extracted to propagate and report the UID for new connections coming from the same source IP.
UID reporting per connection helps with debugging, filtering, and usage estimates for your enterprise traffic. It provides better visibility to help tie connections to user information.
Both the server-side and client-side SteelHeads in your network must be running version 9.7 or later for this reporting to work. This feature does not work as expected if you use NAT before the SteelHead appliance. In this scenario, the SteelHead will not know the true source IP address of the connection.
For propagation to work, the user-identity sources enable command must be enabled.
This command is enabled by default.
Example
amnesiac (config) # user-identity propagation enable
