Set up user authentication so that only legitimate Prisma Access Agent users
have access to your services and applications.
The first time a user connects to the Prisma Access Agent app, the user is prompted
to authenticate to the server (also known as the Prisma Access Agent Manager
or EPM). Once authenticated, the Prisma Access Agent receives the configuration from
the server, which includes the list of gateways to which the app can connect, and
optionally a client certificate for connecting to the gateways. After successfully
downloading and caching the configuration, the app attempts to connect to one of the
gateways specified in the configuration. Because these components provide access to
your network resources and settings, they also require the end user to authenticate.
The appropriate security level required on the gateways varies with the sensitivity
of the resources that the gateway protects.
Prisma Access Agent provides the following authentication types:
Be sure to set up user authentication before you complete
the first Push Config.
