Research direction

Start by locating the connection handling code in the Rust backend where VPN connections are established. Review the existing webhook engine to understand the pattern for adding new event hooks. The implementation should add a new hook point that passes user and IP data to a configurable server-side script after a connection is confirmed.

Description

feature

We need to have in our paloalto an User-Id mapping. Therefore it would be nice to execute a script serverside containing user and ip information.
It could be either integrated in the webhook endine is just triggering a script on the server

What I already tried is using a vector or logstash logging, but this seems not to log conenctions itself
