    GlobalProtect Portals General Tab

    • NetworkGlobalProtectPortals<portal-config>General
    Select the General tab to define the network settings that the GlobalProtect app uses to connect to the GlobalProtect portal. Optionally, you can disable the login page or specify a custom portal login and help pages for GlobalProtect. For information on how to create and import custom pages, refer to Customize the Portal Login, Welcome, and HelpPages in the GlobalProtect Administrator’s Guide.
    GlobalProtect Portal Settings
    Description
    Name
    Type a name for the portal (up to 31 characters). The name is case-sensitive and must be unique. Use only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.
    Location
    For a firewall that is in multiple virtual system mode, the Location is the virtual system (vsys) where the GlobalProtect portal is available. For a firewall that is not in multi-vsys mode, Location selection is not available. After you save the portal, you cannot change Location.
    Network Settings
    Interface
    Select the name of the firewall interface that will be the ingress for communications from remote endpoints and firewalls.
    Do not attach an interface management profile that allows Telnet, SSH, HTTP, or HTTPS to an interface where you have configured a GlobalProtect portal or gateway because this will expose the management interface to the internet. Refer to Adminstrative Access Best Practices for more details on how to protect access to your management network.
    IP Address
    Specify the IP address on which to run the GlobalProtect portal web service. Select the IP Address Type and then enter the IP Address.
    • The IP address type can be IPv4 (for IPv4 traffic only), IPv6 (for IPv6 traffic 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 or 21DA:D3:0:2F3b for IPv6.
    • If you choose IPv4 and IPv6, enter the appropriate IP address type for each.
    Log Settings
    Log Successful SSL Handshake
    (Optional) Creates detailed logs of successful SSL Decryption handshakes. Disabled by default.
    Logs consume storage space. Before you log successful SSL handshakes, ensure you have the resources available to store the logs. Edit DeviceSetupManagementLogging and Reporting Settings to check the current log memory allocation to and re-allocate log memory among log types.
    Log Unsuccessful SSL Handshake
    Creates detailed logs of unsuccessful SSL Decryption handshakes so you can find the cause of decryption issues. Enabled by default.
    Logs consume storage space. To allocate more (or less) log storage space to Decryption logs, edit the log memory allocation (DeviceSetupManagementLogging and Reporting Settings).
    Log Forwarding
    Specify the method and location to forward GlobalProtect SSL handshake (decryption) logs.
    Appearance
    Portal Login Page
    (Optional) Choose a custom login page for user access to the portal. You can select the factory-default page or Import a custom page. The default is None. To prevent access to this page from a web browser, Disable this page.
    Portal Landing Page
    (Optional) Choose a custom landing page for the portal. You can select the factory-default page or Import a custom page. The default is None.
    App Help Page
    (Optional) Choose a custom help page to assist the user with GlobalProtect. You can select the factory-default page or Import a custom page. The factory-default help page is provided with the GlobalProtect app software. If you select a custom help page, the GlobalProtect portal provides the help page with the GlobalProtect portal configuration. When you leave the default value of None, the GlobalProtect app suppresses the page and removes the option from the menu.
