Description: Manages authentication realm configuration and user session statistics on Blue Coat SG proxy appliances.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is BLUECOAT-SG-AUTHENTICATION-MIB?

BLUECOAT-SG-AUTHENTICATION-MIB is a Blue Coat vendor MIB providing authentication realm information and statistics for ProxySG appliances, particularly for Windows-domain based authentication (secure channel/LSA). It exposes per-domain statistics such as transaction counts, timeouts, current and maximum waiters, and reset counts, along with domain controller connection stats. Its monitoring value is primarily software/service health: identifying whether authentication to a given Windows domain is timing out or backing up (high waiter counts), whether the secure channel to a domain controller has been reset frequently, and overall domain authentication throughput and status. It is inherently tied to Windows domain authentication infrastructure (NTLM/Kerberos via LSA/secure channel) rather than a generic IETF MIB, so its data is meaningful in conjunction with domain controller health. Deployment context is an enterprise ProxySG used as an authenticating web proxy in an Active Directory environment, where authentication latency or failures directly affect user web access. Engineers can download the BLUECOAT-SG-AUTHENTICATION-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BLUECOAT-SG-AUTHENTICATION-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Blue Coat ProxySG secure web gateway appliance

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll schannelStatsTable/schannelStatsEntry per domainName to check domainStatus, timeouts, and currentWaiters versus maxWaiters, watching for waiter queues backing up which signals slow domain controller responses. A spike in resets recorded in lsaDomainControllerStatsTable alongside rising timeouts would point to a failing or unreachable domain controller. Comparing transactions across domains helps confirm load balancing across configured realms.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-domain authentication transactions
  • authentication timeouts
  • current/max authentication waiters
  • secure channel reset counts
  • domain controller connection stats
  • domain authentication status
