Description
GPC-11165
When users run the GlobalProtect app for Android, the app reports a
Required Client Certificate not found
error for the first time and failed when users switched between portals configured with different client certificate profiles. The client certificate authentication is successful when users attempt to connect to the app again.
GPC-10839
Safari cannot be added to the application-based split tunnel rule on macOS endpoints.
GPC-10603
When the split tunnel settings based on the destination domains are configured on the GlobalProtect gateway and either Chrome or the Edge browser is used to navigate to these domains on macOS endpoints running macOS Catalina 10.15.4 or later, the
connection reset
errors appear for a few seconds before the website launches.

portal not found
error.

GPC-9043
On iOS devices where you enable the user to save user credentials after supplying a trusted fingerprint, when you refresh the connection, the GlobalProtect app displays an
Authentication Failed
error.
GPC-7017
When users run the GlobalProtect app for Android on their Chromebooks, the app cannot connect to GlobalProtect gateways based on the source IP address of the user because it runs within the Android container on Chrome OS. The Android container uses a network bridge to connect the app to the network, so it is assigned a different IP address from the source IP address of the Chromebook user.
Workaround
: Ensure that gateway selection for the Android operating system is not based on the source IP address of the user by leaving both the
Region
and
IP Address
fields empty in the config selection criteria for your client settings configuration (
Network
GlobalProtect
Gateways
<gateway-config>
Agent
Client Settings
<client-settings-config>
Config Selection Criteria
).
GPC-6878
When users run the GlobalProtect app for Android on their Chromebooks, the app cannot connect to GlobalProtect portals using IPv6 because it runs within the Android container in Chrome OS, which does not currently support IPv6.
Workaround
: Set the
IP Address Type
for your GlobalProtect portal to
IPv4 Only
(
Network
GlobalProtect
Portals
<<portal-config>
General
).
