Deploy App Settings in the macOS Plist
Customize and deploy GlobalProtect app settings in macOS plist to enforce security
rules and configure portal name and connect method.
You can set the GlobalProtect app customization
settings in the macOS global plist (Property list) file. This enables
deployment of GlobalProtect app settings to macOS endpoints prior
to their first connection to the GlobalProtect portal.
On
macOS endpoints, plist files are either located in /Library/Preferences or
in ~/Library/Preferences. The tilde ( ~ )
symbol indicates that the location is in the current user's home
folder. The GlobalProtect app on a macOS endpoint first checks for
the GlobalProtect plist settings. If the plist does not exist at
that location, the GlobalProtect app searches for plist settings
in ~/Library/Preferences.
In addition
to using the macOS plist to deploy GlobalProtect app settings, you
can enable the GlobalProtect app to collect specific macOS plist
information from the endpoints. You can then monitor the data and
add it to a security rule to use as matching criteria. Endpoint
traffic that matches registry settings you define can be enforced
according to the security rule. Additionally, you can set up custom
checks to Collect
Application and Process Data From Endpoints.
- Open the GlobalProtect plist file and locate the GlobalProtect app customization settings.Use Xcode or an alternate plist editor to open the plist file:/Library/Preferences/com.paloaltonetworks.GlobalProtect.settings.plistThen go to:/Palo Alto Networks/GlobalProtect/SettingsIf the Settings dictionary does not exist, create it. Add each key to the Settings dictionary as a string.
- Set the portal name.If you do not want the end user to manually enter the portal address even for the first connection, you can pre-deploy the portal address through the plist. In the PanSetup dictionary, configure an entry for Portal.
- Deploy various settings to the macOS endpoint, including the connect method for the GlobalProtect app.View Customizable App Settings for a full list of the keys and values that you can configure using the macOS plist.
- (Optional) If you are using system extensions and need to switch to kernel extensions, set the key value to UseKextAnyway in the macOS plist (/Library/Preferences/com.paloaltonetworks.GlobalProtect.settings.plist) for the GlobalProtect app.Follow these guidelines when you are using system extensions and need to switch to kernel extensions:
- After you have enabled system extensions, you must first uninstall the existing app to use the UseKextAnyway plist key to enable kernel extensions on macOS.
- You later have the option to revert to use system extensions. You must delete the UseKextAnyway plist key in the macOS plist. After you have deleted this plist key, you must restart the GobalProtect app in order for the change to take effect.
- By switching to kernel extensions, you can no longer use the Split DNS and Enforce GlobalProtect Connections with FQDN Exclusions features.
- If you have configured split tunnel settings based on the application on macOS endpoints, all Safari-based traffic, Microsoft Teams-based traffic, or Slack-based traffic that are defined in the split tunnel configuration would be dropped. We recommend that you use Chrome instead of Safari so that traffic defined in the split tunnel configuration will not be dropped. All traffic that was created based on the WebKit framework such as Safari, Microsoft Teams, or Slack might have problems using kernel extensions.
You must specify UseKextAnyway as the plist key before installing GlobalProtect app 5.2.6 or later releases or upgrading from an earlier release to GlobalProtect app 5.2.6 or later releases running Catalina 10.15.4 or later. However, if you are upgrading from an earlier release to GlobalProtect app 5.2.6 or later releases running macOS Big Sur 11 or later, you must enable system extensions.
