Q.
An enterprise is implementing Agentless Single Sign-On (SSO) using a Palo Alto Networks firewall.

Q.
An organization is migrating from a Windows-based User-ID agent to an Agentless Single Sign-On configuration on their Palo Alto Networks firewall. After configuring the Server Monitoring for the Domain Controllers, the administrator observes that the status is 'Connected' but no IP-to-User mappings are appearing in the firewall's User-ID database. Upon investigation, it is discovered that the network uses a high volume of login events. Which configuration adjustment is most likely to resolve the missing mappings issue in an Agentless scenario?
21

Q.
A security engineer is configuring Agentless SSO on a Palo Alto Networks firewall and decides to use WinRM instead of WMI to fetch security logs from the Windows Domain Controllers. Despite the service account having correct permissions, the firewall cannot establish a connection. The network uses a strict internal firewall between the management network and the Domain Controllers. Which port must be opened to allow the firewall to collect logs using WinRM over HTTPS?
22

Q.
An administrator is setting up Agentless Single Sign-On for a Palo Alto Networks firewall in a secure environment. The security policy dictates that the firewall service account must follow the principle of least privilege. In addition to adding the account to the 'Event Log Readers' group, which specific permission must be granted within the WMI Control (wmimgmt.msc) properties for the Root\CIMV2 namespace to allow the firewall to successfully pull logs?
23

Q.
An administrator is troubleshooting an Agentless Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration where the Palo Alto Networks firewall is successfully connected to the Domain Controller (DC), but the User-ID table is being populated with the computer names (e.g., 'WORKSTATION-01$') instead of the actual usernames. Which configuration change on the firewall's Agentless User-ID setup will prevent these machine accounts from appearing in the mapping table?
