    Set Up Access to the GlobalProtect Portal

    After you have completed the Prerequisite Tasks for Configuring the GlobalProtect Portal, configure the GlobalProtect portal as follows:
    1. Add the portal.
      1. Select
        Network
        GlobalProtect
        Portals
        , and then
        Add
         a portal.
      2. Enter a
        Name
         for the portal. The name cannot contain spaces.
      3. (
        Optional
        ) Select the virtual system to which this portal belongs from the
        Location
         field.
    2. Specify network settings to enable the GlobalProtect app to communicate with the portal.
      If you have not yet created a network interface for the portal, see Create Interfaces and Zones for GlobalProtect. If you have not yet created an SSL/TLS service profile for the portal, see Deploy Server Certificates to the GlobalProtect Components.
      Do not attach an interface management profile that allows HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, or SSH on the interface where you have configured a GlobalProtect portal or gateway because this enables access to your management interface from the Internet. Follow the Best Practices for Securing Administrative Access to ensure that you are securing administrative access to your firewalls in a way that will prevent successful attacks.
      1. Select an
        Interface
        .
      2. Specify the
        IP Address Type
         and
        IP address
         for the portal web service:
        • The IP address type can be
          IPv4 Only
          ,
          IPv6 Only
          , or
          IPv4 and IPv6.
           Use
          IPv4 and IPv6
           if your network supports dual stack configurations, where IPv4 and IPv6 run at the same time.
        • The IP address must be compatible with the IP address type. For example,
          172.16.1/0
           for IPv4 addresses or
          21DA:D3:0:2F3B
           for IPv6 addresses. For dual stack configurations, enter both an IPv4 and IPv6 address.
      3. Select an
        SSL/TLS Service Profile
        .
    3. Select custom login and help pages or disable the login and help pages entirely. See Customize the GlobalProtect Portal Login, Welcome, and Help Pages for more details on creating a custom login page and help page.
      In the
      Appearance
       area of the GlobalProtect Portal Configuration dialog (
      Network
      GlobalProtect
      Portals
      <portal-config>
      General
      ), configure the following settings:
      • To set the
        Portal Login Page
         for user access to the portal, select the
        factory-default
         login page,
        Import
         a custom login page, or
        Disable
         access to the login page.
      • To set the
        App Help Page
         to provide assistance to users with the GlobalProtect app, select the
        factory-default
         help page,
        Import
         a custom help page, or select
        None
         to remove the
        Help
         option from the
        Settings
         menu of the GlobalProtect status panel.
    4. Specify how the portal authenticates the users.
      If you have not yet created a server certificate for the portal and issued gateway certificates, see Deploy Server Certificates to the GlobalProtect Components.
      Configure any of the following portal
      Authentication
       settings (
      Network
      GlobalProtect
      Portals
      <portal-config>
      Authentication
      ):
      • To secure communication between the portal and the GlobalProtect app, select the
        SSL/TLS Service Profile
         that you configured for the portal.
      • To authenticate users through a local user database or an external authentication service, such as LDAP, Kerberos, TACACS+, SAML, or RADIUS (including OTP), Define the GlobalProtect Client Authentication Configurations
        .
      • To authenticate users based on a client certificate, select the corresponding
        Certificate Profile
        . A valid client certificate must be pre-deployed on all endpoints.
    5. Save the portal configuration.
      1. Click
        OK
         to save the settings.
      2. Commit
         the changes.
