  • Many thanks Erin,

    I have followed that kb article.

    And, apologies, we are on a 2012 R2 domain.

    Users appearing in STAS 'Show Live Users' is very hit & miss!

    Users authenticating against the domain appear in both STAS logs 'View Log' & 'View Logging Events'  but do not appear in 'Show Live Users'.

    Therefore they do not appear in 'Live Users' on the XG.

    Users then get the Captive Portal to authenticate against when they shouldn't.

    To add to this, I've also found the Captive Portal drops out randomly!! Even though 'Preserve captive portal after login' is set to 'no' and 'User inactivity timeout' is set to 'unlimited'.

     


      

     

     

     

     

  • I can't say "that is the problem" but Server 2003 is not supported on STAS software. And it is the most problematic domain tree in ldap world. I need a deep check of the system. Maybe you can recheck your configuration from https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/123156 Sorry

  • Also, I even had to turn off our second domain controller, as the STAS agent on it was not informing the STAS collector (on the 
     
    primary DC) that it had authenticated users.
     
    I am beginning to wish I had stuck with Sonicwall..!
  • Many thanks Eren.. 

    The Sophos Engineer had already enabled that on our DC during the initial install of the XG. 

  • You need to enable windows logon events from secpol.msc or windows security policy on Domain Controller to collect logs and report to stas that users get connected/disconnected. You can find it under secpol.msc>local>audit and select both success and failure from both "logon" type events.

  • Did you ever get an answer to this problem.?

    I too am having issues with it. Not all STAS users appear in 'Show Live Users'.

    It seems fairly random who shows and who does not.

    Those that do not appear are then prompted with the Captive Portal - which is a real pain!

  • HI i have the same problem here Stas Suite installed on all dc´s tests are all sucessfull windows firewall turned off events logged in the eventlogs but no active users displayed.

    Any Idea why?

  • In the post above, I've already written, windows firewalls were disabled, for test. But STAS does not work. Maybe have you got another idea, how to fix it?

  • Create a windows firewall rule which allows traffic from UTM using the STAS application. Test this first by deactivating Windows firewall temporarily.

    If this work, create a windows firewall rule using gpo and apply it on the domain controller or else where STAS is running.

  • I've got the same behavior. All tests go ok, but STAS does not work. I don't see online users and log shows me
