Configure a Per-App VPN Configuration for Windows 10 UWP Endpoints Using Workspace
ONE
You can enable access to internal resources from your managed mobile endpoints by configuring
GlobalProtect VPN access using Workspace ONE. In a per-app VPN configuration, you
can specify which managed apps can send traffic through the GlobalProtect VPN
tunnel. Unmanaged apps will continue to connect directly to the internet instead of
through the GlobalProtect VPN tunnel.
Because Workspace ONE does not yet list GlobalProtect as an official connection provider for
Windows endpoints, you must select an alternate VPN provider, edit the settings
for the GlobalProtect app, and import the configuration back into the VPN
profile as described in the following workflow.
Use the following steps to configure a per-app VPN configuration for Windows 10 UWP endpoints
using Workspace ONE:
- Download the GlobalProtect app for Windows 10 UWP:
- Download the GlobalProtect app directly from the Microsoft Store.
- From the Workspace ONE console, modify an existing Windows 10 UWP profile add a new one.
- Select, and thenDevicesProfiles & ResourcesProfilesADDa new profile.
- SelectWindowsas the platform andWindows Phoneas the device type.
- Configure theGeneralsettings:
- Enter aNamefor the profile.
- (Optional) Enter a briefDescriptionof the profile that indicates its purpose.
- (Optional) Set theDeploymentmethod toManagedto enable the profile to be removed automatically upon unenrollment
- (Optional) Select anAssignment Typeto determine how the profile is deployed to endpoints. SelectAutoto deploy the profile to all endpoints automatically,Optionalto enable the end user to install the profile from the Self-Service Portal (SSP) or to manually deploy the profile to individual endpoints, orComplianceto deploy the profile when an end user violates a compliance policy applicable to the endpoint.
- (Optional) In theManaged Byfield, enter the Organization Group with administrative access to the profile.
- (Optional) In theAssigned Groupsfield, add the Smart Groups to which you want the profile added. This field includes an option to create a new Smart Group, which can be configured with specs for minimum OS, device models, ownership categories, organization groups, and more.
- (Optional) Indicate whether you want to include anyExclusionsto the assignment of this profile. If you selectYes, theExcluded Groupsfield displays, enabling you to select the Smart Groups that you wish to exclude from the assignment of this profile.

- Select theKey Locationwhere you want to store the certificate’s private key:
- TPM Required—Store the private key on a Trusted Platform Module. If a Trusted Platform Module is not available on the endpoint, the private key cannot be installed.
- TPM If Present—Store the private key on a Trusted Platform Module if one is available on the endpoint. If a Trusted Platform Module is not available on the endpoint, the private key is stored in the endpoint software.
- Software—Store the private key in the endpoint software.
- Passport—Save the private key to Microsoft Passport. To use this option, Workspace ONE Protection Agent must be installed on the endpoint.
- Set theCertificate StoretoPersonal.
