Security Agent

To enable Security agent on an AD server, you need to first install and run Security Agenton the server. After that, when a domain user is logging in or logging out, Security Agent will record the user's username, IP address, current time and other information, and add the mapping between the username and IP address to StoneOS. In this way StoneOS can obtain every online user's IP address.
