Authentication

Auth logs contain information about authentication events seen by the next-generation firewall. These occur when users access network resources which are controlled by authentication policy rules. Authentication Logs will never appear in Strata Logging Service if the associated firewalls are not configured with authentication policies.
Authentication logs are most frequently written when the next-generation firewall is configured as a Multi-Factor Authentication gateway, and an end-user is using it to perform authentication.
See the following for information related to supported log formats:
