Integrate Prisma Access with On-Premises Gateways
Prisma Access enables you to extend the Palo
Alto Networks security platform out to your remote network locations
and your mobile users without having to build out your own global security
infrastructure and expand your operational capacity. In cases where
you have already deployed GlobalProtect gateways in regions where
you already have the infrastructure to manage it, you can leverage
this investment by configuring Prisma Access to direct mobile users
to your existing external gateways when appropriate.
You can Manage Priorities for Prisma Access and On-Premises Gateways, which allow you
to specify priorities for on-premises and Prisma Access gateways.
Administrators cannot specify mobile users to connect to a specific
Prisma Access gateway; however administrators can Allow Mobile Users to Manually Select Specific Prisma Access Gateways using the
GlobalProtect app.
You cannot use your own portal
with Prisma Access. You can only use the portal that is deployed
when your Prisma Access for mobile users is provisioned.
To
configure one of these hybrid Prisma Access deployments, you must
edit the GlobalProtect_Portal configuration within the Mobile_User_Template
to add your on-premises gateways to the appropriate regions:
- Edit the Prisma Access portal configuration.
- To add an existing gateway to the list of available gateways, select .
- Select Mobile_User_Template from the Template drop-down.
- Select GlobalProtect_Portal to edit the Prisma Access portal configuration.
- Add your on-premises gateway to the list of gateways
in the agent configuration.
- Select the Agent tab and select the DEFAULT agent configuration or Add a new one.
- Select the External tab and Add your on-premises
gateway.

If you add a new agent configuration and you want to add the Prisma Access gateways to the list of external gateways in that configuration, you must set the Name to Prisma Access (existing deployments might use the name GP cloud service) and the Address to gpcloudservice.com. You must enter these values exactly as shown, and you cannot use either of these values for non-Prisma Access gateways. - Enter the Name of the gateway and specify either the FQDN or IP address of the gateway in the Address field; this value must exactly match the common name (CN) in the gateway certificate.
- (Optional) If you want mobile users to only
connect to the gateway when they are in the corresponding region, Add the Source Region to
restrict the gateway to. For example, if you have a gateway in France,
you would select FR (France). If you have a gateway in Sweden, you
would select (SE) Sweden.One benefit of this is that users will then be able to access a gateway that enables access to internet resources in their own language.
- Configure other agent settings as necessary to complete the agent configuration.
- Click OK to save the portal configuration.
- Commit all your changes to Panorama and push the configuration
changes to Prisma Access.
- Click .
- Click and click Edit Selections.
- On the Prisma Access tab, make
sure Prisma Access for users is selected
and then click OK.
