Managed
Configuration Enhancements
If you use managed configurations to
define GlobalProtect app settings remotely, you can now configure the
following settings for the GlobalProtect app for Android endpoints:
Definition | Description |
---|---|
Client Certificate Alias | |
| The Client Certificate Alias is a descriptive
name that can help users identify and select client certificates during
certificate-based GlobalProtect portal or gateway authentication. |
Allow Network Bypass | |
| In GlobalProtect app 4.1.4 and earlier releases
for Android endpoints, all traffic is required to traverse the VPN tunnel
for inspection and policy enforcement. With the Allow Network Bypass
setting, Android applications can now select which network adapter (virtual
or physical) to use for their network traffic, as determined by
the application manager. If an application selects the virtual network
adapter, all traffic for that application goes through the VPN tunnel
for inspection and policy enforcement. If an application selects
the physical network adapter, all traffic for that application bypasses
the VPN tunnel and proceeds directly to the physical adapter on
the endpoint. By granting applications the option to bypass the
VPN tunnel, you can help decrease bandwidth consumption on the GlobalProtect gateway. |
