Learn how to configure multiple portals with multiple authentication methods in
Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
.
  1. Contact the Palo Alto Networks support to activate this functionality.
  2. Configure a mobile user and the authentication method for it.
  3. Enable multiple portals for the same gateway.
    1. Select
      Settings
      Prisma Access
      Setup
      GlobalProtect
      Infrastructure
      .
      If you're using Strata Cloud Manager, select
      Workflows
      Prisma Access
      Setup
      GlobalProtect
      GlobalProtect Setup
      Infrastructure
      .
    2. Edit the
      Infrastructure Settings
      .
    3. Enable Multiple Portal for Multiple Authentication Methods
      .
      The new portal appears for the 8443 port for the same tenant. This portal inherits the configuration settings from the original port, which is port 443.
  4. Edit the portal configurations to update the authentication settings.
    You can edit only the portal's
    Authentication Settings
    and
    Certificate Profile
    authentication settings.
    If you use certificate-based authentication in both portals, ensure that both portals use the same client certificate profile for authentication.
    This feature enables the authentication override settings to generate cookie for both portals in the GlobalProtect app settings.
    This feature enables the authentication override settings to generate and accept cookie for both portals in the tunnel settings.
  5. Save all your changes and
    Push
    the configuration changes to
    Prisma Access
    .
  6. Add the portals manually or using endpoint management software in the GlobalProtect app.
  7. Verify if you can connect to both portals with different authentication profiles for the gateway.
    1. Log in to your Windows machine.
    2. Connect to the portals in your GlobalProtect app.
      When you change the connection between portals of different authentication methods, authenticate the user login.
      If the authentication cookie expires when you connect to the 8443 portal and switch to the manual gateway, GlobalProtect connects to the
      Best Available Gateway
      .
      If your GlobalProtect app uses cached portal configurations, fallback to portal does not work.
If you're using SAML-based authentication for the secondary portal, enter the values as follows while integrating:
  • Single sign on URL
    : Enter
    https://
    Portal-FQDN
    :443/SAML20/SP/ACS
    Portal-FQDN
    is the FQDN for the
    Prisma Access
    portal
    Use portal
    443
    even if you have configured the secondary portal (8443).
  • Audience URI (SP Entity ID)
    : Enter
    https://
    Portal-FQDN
    :443/SAML20/SP
