Customize the settings for the VPN tunnel the
GlobalProtect app establishes to connect to Prisma Access.
Tunnel
settings include split tunneling options that you can use to define
what traffic the app sends to Prisma Access and what can be routed
locally instead (like bandwidth intensive applications that aren’t
required for business use).
The
Match Criteria
you
define for tunnel settings tells Prisma Access the users, devices,
or systems that should receive the settings. For example, you could
specify that a tunnel settings rule applies to all instances of
the GlobalProtect app in a certain region.
You can explore
all GlobalProtect tunnel settings on the
GlobalProtect
App
page, and here are examples of some of the options
available to you.

Access
Authentication Override
Enable Prisma Access to generate and accept
secure, encrypted cookies for user authentication. Turning this
on allows the user to provide login credentials only once during
the specified period of time.
Generate
cookie for authentication override
—Enables the Prisma
Access to generate encrypted, endpoint-specific cookies and issue
authentication cookies to the endpoint.
Accept cookie for authentication override
—Enables
Prisma Access to authenticate users with a valid, encrypted cookie.
When the app presents a valid cookie, Prisma Access verifies that
the cookie was encrypted by Prisma Access originally, decrypts the
cookie, and then authenticates the user.
The GlobalProtect
app must know the username of the connecting user in order to match
and retrieve the associated authentication cookies from the user’s
endpoint. After the app retrieves the cookies, it sends them to
Prisma Access for user authentication.
Cookie Lifetime
—Specifies the hours,
days, or weeks for which the cookie is valid (default is 24 hours). The
range for hours is 1 to 72; for weeks is 1 to 52; and for days is
1 to 365. After the cookie expires, the user must re-enter their
login credentials and then Prisma Access subsequently encrypts a
new cookie to send to the app. This value can be the same as or
different from the Cookie Lifetime that you configure.
Certificate to Encrypt/Decrypt Cookie
—Selects
the RSA certificate used to encrypt and decrypt the cookie.
Split Tunneling
Split tunneling conserves bandwidth by excluding
traffic Prisma Access that is not business critical or does not
enable productivity. Here you can define what traffic the GlobalProtect
app allows or disallows through the VPN tunnel to Prisma Access.
Local Network Access
—Give Windows
and Mac users access to local resources, without requiring them
to first connect to Prisma Access.
Exclude Traffic
—Specify traffic to exclude
from Prisma Access policy inspection and enforcement based on application,
domain, and route (like an IP address).
Customize Include Traffic
—By default,
the GlobalProtect app routes all traffic to Prisma Access except what's
in the exclude list. Specify traffic that the GlobalProtect app
should always route to Prisma Access, even when it meets exclude
list criteria.
Exclude Video Stream Traffic
Choose not to send video streaming traffic
from the listed applications to Prisma Access. Right now, this setting
is applied globally: video streaming exclusions are applied to all
traffic the GlobalProtect app sends to Prisma Access, not just the
match criteria you've defined for this rule.
