Set GlobalProtect App Version in
Prisma Access
Global Settings
Starting with
Prisma Access
5.1.1, you must set the GlobalProtect App version in Prisma Access. If you do not set the GlobalProtect version, you will be prompted to upgrade the GlobalProtect version every time a new version is released.
To set the GlobalProtect version:
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
    Deployments
    : From
    Strata Cloud Manager
    , go to
    Workflows
    Prisma Access
    Setup
    GlobalProtect
    GlobalProtect App
    , click the gear to edit the
    GlobalProtect App Settings
    , and select the
    GlobalProtect App Version
    .
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
    Deployments
    : From Panorama, go to
    Panorama
    Cloud Services
    Configuration
    Service Setup
    GlobalProtect App Activation
    and make sure that you have selected an
    Active GlobalProtect App version
    and, if you haven't,
    Activate new GlobalProtect app version
    .
Remapped Prisma Access Locations
To better optimize the performance of
Prisma Access
, the following locations have been remapped to the following compute locations:
  • The
    South Africa Central
    location is remapped to the South Africa Central compute location.
  • The
    Canada West
    location is remapped to the Calgary West (Calgary) compute location.
New deployments have the new remapping applied automatically. If you have an existing Prisma Access deployment that uses one of these locations and you want to take advantage of the remapped compute location, follow the procedure to add a new compute location to a deployed Prisma Access location.
Upgrade Considerations for the PAN-OS 11.2
If you choose to have Palo Alto Networks upgrade your dataplane to PAN-OS 11.2, make sure that you're aware of the following changes and upgrade considerations before you schedule the upgrade:
FQDNs Substituted for Service IP Addresses for Service Connections and Remote Network Connections
(
Panorama Managed Deployments Only
)
For new
Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
deployments, when you onboard a new service connection or remote network connection, Prisma Access provides you with an
FQDN
instead of a
Service IP Address
as the peer IP address. If you need to use an IP address for the other side of the service connection or remote network connection instead of the FQDN, you can find the Service IP Address under
Panorama
Cloud Services
Configuration
Service Setup
Service Operations
Serviceability Commands
Service IP Address
.
Troubleshooting Commands Renamed to Serviceability Commands
(
Panorama Managed Deployments Only
)
The
Troubleshooting Commands
area in Panorama Managed Prisma Access (
Panorama
Cloud Services
Configuration
Service Setup
Service Operations
Troubleshooting Commands
) has been renamed to
Serviceability Commands
(
Panorama
Cloud Services
Configuration
Service Setup
Service Operations
Serviceability Commands
).
swg-known-auth-bypass User in Explicit Proxy Deployments
For the domains bypassed for authentication in Explicit Proxy, users will be tracked as
swg-known-auth-bypass
instead of
unknown user
, which was used previously. Ensure that security policy rules for those authentication bypassed domains allow
swg-known-auth-bypass
or
pre-defined "Known-Users".
