Abstract
Techniques for user identity-based security policy enforcement. The techniques may include sending, to an edge device associated with a network, a networking policy associated with a user. The techniques may also include receiving, from an identity provider, an IP address associated with the user. Additionally, the techniques may include sending, to the edge device, an indication to associate the IP address with the user such that the edge device applies the networking policy to packets that include the IP address.
