Current Activities
The Current Activity section provides information about the live IPsec, SSL, IP and wireless connections to the device.
•
Live Users
: Displays a list of all the users currently connected to the device.
•
IPsec Connections
: Displays a list of all the live IPsec connections.
•
Remote Users
: Displays a list of all the live SSL VPN users.
•
Live Connections IPv4
: Displays a list of the live IPv4 connections on the device. You can forcefully disconnect the connections from the respective pages.
•
Live Connections IPv6
: Displays a list of the live IPv6 connections on the device. You can forcefully disconnect the connections from the respective pages.
Live Users
Live users in the device can be managed from a single page. All the active normal users, clientless users and single sign-on users are visible from the Live Users page. The administrator can disconnect these users from this page directly.
User Types:
Sophos XG Firewall | Monitor and Analyze | 19
• Normal
• Clientless
• Single Sign-On
• Thin Client
• WWAN user
A normal user has to logon to the device. It requires a client (client.exe) on the user machine or a HTTP client component can be used and all the policy-based restriction are applied.
A clientless user does not require a client component (client.exe) on the user machines.
If a user is configured for single sign-on, whenever the user logs on to Windows, he/she is automatically logged to the device.
If the user is a thin client user, whenever the user logs on, this is visible on the Live Users page.
If a wireless user is configured and connected, the user is shown on the Live Users page.
To disconnect a user:
1.
Click the Disconnect icon under the Manage column against a user.
2. Specify the message in a dialog box.
3. Click OK to disconnect the user. To disconnect multiple live users, select them and click Disconnect.
Note: Configured messages will not be sent to a clientless user.
