The AI Runtime Security: Network intercept requires a device certificate to retrieve the site license entitlements and securely access AI Runtime Security and Cloud-Delivered Security Services. Each PIN is generated on the Customer Support Portal and is unique to your Palo Alto Networks support account.
To retrieve the site licenses when you launch the AI Runtime Security instance, you must include the auto registration PIN ID and value in the deployment.
To successfully install the device certificate, the AI Runtime Security instance requires an outbound internet connection, and the following fully qualified domain names (FQDN) and ports must be allowed on your network.
