STAS User Authentication

nidz

Hi,

I installed STAS in member server (Windows Server 2012 R2) not in the AD. It was working already and its getting the list of user from the AD but last 2 days suddenly the live user list in the SOPHOS XG show 3 or 4 only unlike before. It happens like this after i restart my SOPHOS XG. Even i tried to login to user portal using my AD username is not working anymore.

Please see attach screen shot.

Thanks,

nidzms

    Hi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community! 

    Please reattach the screenshots, and provide the access_server logs in debugging. 

    Have you followed any document or KBA to setup STAS? 

    Thanks,

    Did you ge tthis fixed?I had it working and then all of a sudden it stopped working altogether. I followed all of the setup instructions and I have the users in the live users in the STAS suite collector. No matter what I do it seems like the firewall is not referencing the Live users. I have no evidence of users in the firewall logs (firewall and authentication) any more. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it is not making a difference. Is there a reset the database in the firewall? I have removed all objects from the firewall and disabled STAS, removed users, recreated firewall rules. All of the tests from the STAS application are passing. 

    The firewall is an XG 105 SFOS17.5.14 MR-14-1
