Identifying Mac endpoint end users

When a Mac user is logged into an active directory-based domain, the endpoints identify users in the same way as for Windows operating system users. For Mac users not logged into a domain, however, the endpoint formats the user details in the cloud service as mac.local.[local_username]@[local_address].

For example, if you are logged in as “Joe Bloggs,” it might appear as mac.local.joebloggs@123-nosuchdomain.autoregistration.proxy.

To search for all locally logged-on Mac users, do the following:

Steps

  1. Go to Account > Settings > End Users.
  2. In the Name field, enter “mac.local*”
  3. Click Search.

Next steps

This brings up a list of all Mac users that are logged on locally.
