SAML Authentication for GlobalProtect Portals on Non-Standard Ports
This provides information on SAML Authentication for GlobalProtect Portals on
Non-Standard Ports
When networks require flexible deployment options that
prevent the use of default ports (TCP/443), achieving secure remote access with SAML
authentication can be challenging. GlobalProtect® now provides support for SAML
authentication when the port is externally accessible on a
non-standard port. This new capability enables GlobalProtect to use SAML authentication
on custom ports, supporting flexible deployment options in networks that require
specific ports for service access. The feature ensures the GlobalProtect portal
configuration and the Identity Provider (IdP) settings, specifically the Assertion
Consumer Service (ACS) URL, are synchronized for successful non-standard port access.
This functionality allows administrators to meet complex network requirements without
compromising secure, SAML-based user authentication.
