Customize the GlobalProtect Portal Login, Welcome, and Help Pages

GlobalProtect provides default login, welcome, and/or help pages. However, you can create your own custom pages with your corporate branding, acceptable use policies, and links to your internal resources.
You can alternatively disable browser access to the portal login page in order to prevent unauthorized attempts to authenticate to the GlobalProtect portal (configure the Portal Login PageDisable option from NetworkGlobalProtectPortals<portal_configGeneral). With the portal login page disabled, you can instead use a software distribution tool, such as Microsoft’s System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), to allow your users to download and install the GlobalProtect app.
  1. Export the default portal login, home, welcome, or help page.
    1. Select DeviceResponse Pages.
    2. Select the link for the corresponding GlobalProtect portal page, such as GlobalProtect Portal Login Page.
    3. Select the predefined Default page and click Export.
  2. Edit the exported page.
    1. Use the HTML text editor of your choice to open and edit the page.
    2. To edit the login or home page, configure any of the following variables:
