ADFS Authentication for BYOD for SWG

I would like to get some clarification on a Netskope SWG + DLP deployment scenario.

We have established a firewall tunnel to the Netskope cloud and integrated ADFS for user authentication. Both corporate-managed devices and BYOD devices (phones and personal laptops) are connected to the same LAN and their traffic is forwarded to Netskope through the tunnel.

My question is regarding BYOD behavior:

  • When ADFS authentication is enabled, are BYOD devices expected to experience browsing or authentication issues?

  • How does Netskope handle user identification and authentication for non-domain-joined devices in this setup?

  • Are there recommended best practices for handling BYOD traffic when using ADFS with a firewall-based forwarding architecture?

Any guidance or real-world experience would be appreciated.
