Set Up GlobalProtect Mobile Users (Panorama)
Panorama
)Learn how to set up a Mobile Users—GlobalProtect deployment in
Prisma Access
.To configure a Mobile Users—GlobalProtect
deployment, complete the following steps. Before you begin, be sure
that you understand how
and use the checklist to
plan for your GlobalProtect deployment.
- Select.PanoramaCloud ServicesConfigurationMobile Users—GlobalProtect
- When you set up GlobalProtect for the first time, you’ll be asked whether or not you want to enablePrisma AccessIP Optimization. Choosing to enable IP Optimization requires GlobalProtect client version 6.1.4 and later, 6.2.3 and later, or 6.3 and later, and does not support IPv6. Choose carefully, as you can’t change this setting later.
- IP Optimization functionality is for newPrisma AccessGlobalProtect deployments only. Existing Global Protect deployments, including new tenants you create from an existing multitenant deployment, are not eligible.
- If you are migrating your GlobalProtect deployment toPrisma Access(away from using on-premises gateways and portals), ensure all users are running GlobalProtect app version 6.1.4 and later, 6.2.3 and later, or 6.3 and later before enabling this functionality
- (Optional) If you want to customize the agent configuration thatPrisma Accesspushes to clients, edit the GlobalProtect portal configuration in the Mobile_User_Template to add a new agent configuration. After configuring the Agent configuration, move it above the DEFAULT agent configuration that is predefined in the template to ensure that your settings take precedence over the default settings. When editing this template, don't remove or change the External Gateway entry.
- Configure the device group hierarchy that the cloud service will push to the portal and gateway.
- Edit theSettings.
- In the Device Group section, select theParent Device Groupthat contains the configuration settings you want to push toPrisma Accessfor Users, or leave the parent device group asSharedto use thePrisma Accessdevice group shared hierarchy.You will push all of the configuration—including the address groups, Security policy, Security profiles, and other policy objects (such as application groups and objects), HIP objects and profiles and authentication policy—thatPrisma Accessfor Users needs to enforce consistent policy to your mobile users using the device group hierarchy you specify here. In addition, you must make sure that you have configured a Log Forwarding profile that forwards the desired log types toPanorama/Strata Logging Servicein a device group that gets pushed toPrisma Accessfor Users; this is the only way that the cloud service knows which logs to forward toStrata Logging Service.
- (Optional) If you have configured a next-generation firewall as a master device or added a Cloud Identity Engine profile to make user and group information selectable in security policies, selectUser-ID Master DeviceorCloud Identity Engine; then, select either the Master Device or the Cloud Identity Engine profile that you created.
- (Optional) ConfigurePrisma Accessto use the Directory Sync component of the Cloud Identity Engine to retrieve user and group information.You must configure the Directory Sync component of the Cloud Identity Engine to retrieve user and group information from cloud directory or Active Directory (AD) before you enable and configure Directory Sync integration inPrisma AccessGroup Mapping Settings.
- ClickOKto save the mobile user settings.
- Map the zones configured within the template stack as trusted or untrusted.On a Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall, Security policy is enforced between zones, which map to physical or virtual interfaces on the firewall. However, withPrisma Accessfor Users, the networking infrastructure is automatically set up for you, which means you no longer need to configure interfaces and associate them with zones. However, to enable consistent security policy enforcement, you must map the zones you use within your organization as trust or untrust so thatPrisma Accessfor Users can translate the policy rules you push to the cloud service to the internal zones within the networking infrastructure.
- Edit the Zone Mapping settings.By default, all of the zones in the Mobile_User_Template_Stack are classified as Untrusted Zones.
- For each zone you want to designate as trusted, select it and clickAddto move it to the list ofTrusted Zones.
- ClickOKto save your changes.
- Configure the GlobalProtect portal and external gateway settings.You can configurePrisma Accessgateways as external gateways only—not as internal gateways.
- In the Onboarding section, clickConfigure.
- On theGeneraltab, specify thePortal Name Type:
- Use Default Domain—If you select this option, your portal hostname uses the default domain name:.gpcloudservice.com. In this case, simply enter aPortal Hostnameto append to the default domain name.Prisma Accessfor Users will automatically create the necessary certificates and publish the hostname to public DNS servers.If you already have a GlobalProtect deployment with an existing portal name and you want to continue to use that portal name, add a CNAME entry that mapsPrisma Accessportal name to your existing portal name. For example, if you have an existing portal named portal.acme.com and you want to map the newPrisma Accessportal to this same name, you would add a CNAME of gpcs2.gpcloudservice.com to the DNS entry for your existing portal.The *.gpcloudservice.com domain is associated with the Palo Alto Networks application.
- Use Company Domain—Select this option if you want the domain in the portal hostname to match your company domain name (for example, myportal.mydomain.com). If you want to use this option, you must first obtain your own certificate and configure an SSL/TLS service profile that points to it. Then you can configure the portal name by selecting theSSL/TLS Service Profileand entering thePortal Hostname. If you use this option, you must point your internal DNS servers to thePortal DNS CNAME, which is the hostname of the portal with the.gpcloudservice.comdomain. For example, if you specified a DNS hostname of acme-portal.acme.com, you would need to create a DNS CNAME entry that maps that hostname to acme-portal.gpcloudservice.com on your internal DNS servers.
If you need to upload a new certificate, import the certificate and private key; then, view the SSL/TLS service being used byPrisma Accessunderand check theNetworkGlobalProtectPortalsGlobalProtect_PortalAuthenticationSSL/TLS Service Profilename. This field only displays if you're using a company domain instead of the default domain. You can then selectand replace the certificate in the SSL/TLS profile used by the portal with the certificate you imported.DeviceCertificate ManagementSSL/TLS Certificate Profile - Select anAuthentication Profilethat specifies howPrisma Accessshould authenticate mobile users or create a new one.If you added a parent device group that contains an authentication profile configuration, you should see it on the list of available profiles. If you did not push the profile in the device group, you can create an authentication profile now.After you commit and push your changes, you can't make any changes to the authentication profile and authentication override certificate in this area and the choices become read-only. To make changes after initial onboarding, modify or add one or more GlobalProtect client authentication configurations under theMobile_User_Template.
- Select anAuthentication Override Certificateto encrypt the secure cookies that mobile users authenticate to the portal and gateway.If you added a parent device group that contains the certificate you want to use to encrypt authentication cookies, you should see it on the list of available certificates. If you did not push a certificate in the device group, you can import or generate one now.
- (Optional) To ensure that your mobile users always have access to the services and applications that are accessible from service connections,Enable Network Redundancybetween the portals or gateways and service connections.This functionality provides redundant network paths between the mobile user dataplane and service connections in different compute locations. Enabling redundancy provides users with more resilient access to resources behind service connections in a data center or headquarters locations. Because a service connection is required for mobile users to access resources from remote networks, users also have more resiliency in accessing resources in remote network locations.
- (Optional) If you do not require GlobalProtect endpoints to have tunnel connections when on the internal network, enableInternal Host Detection.
- Select theInternal Host Detectioncheck box.
- Enter theIP Addressof a host that users can reach only from the internal network.
- Enter the DNSHostnamefor the IP address you entered. Clients that try to connect perform a reverse DNS lookup on the specified address. If the lookup fails, the client determines that it needs a tunnel connection toPrisma Accessfor Users.
Prisma Accesscopies the internal host detection settings you specify here to the default agent settings in your GlobalProtect portal configuration (). If you have entered internal host detection settings for the default agent in the GlobalProtect portal, you will not be able to change the options here and must change it in the portal. If you require multiple agent configs, enter settings for the default agent config in the GlobalProtect portal and use those settings forNetworkGlobalProtectPortals<portal-config>AgentDEFAULTInternalPrisma Access, then selectandNetworkGlobalProtectPortals<portal-config>AgentAdda non-default config, and specify that config in other parts of your deployment. - (Optional) If your organization uses allow lists to control access to public or SaaS applications, specify whether or not you'reUsing IP Allow Lists in SaaS Apps.To enable you to add the public (egress) IP addresses for your GlobalProtect—Mobile User deployment to any SaaS application allow lists you use within your organization,Prisma Accessprovides you with the IP addresses and lets you verify that you have added them to your allow list before using them in your environment. You can implement allow listing forPrisma Accessegress IP addresses for both existing deployments and new deployments.
- (Optional) Customize the GlobalProtect app settings (for example, specify the connect method GlobalProtect uses) by selecting, selecting the config you want to customize or selectingNetworkGlobalProtectPortalsGlobalProtect_PortalAgentDEFAULT, selectingApp, then customizing the GlobalProtect app.
- Select theLocationsand the regions associated with those locations where you want to deploy your mobile users.TheLocationstab displays a map. Highlighting the map shows the global regions (Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific) and the locations available inside each region. Select a region, then select the locations you want to deploy in each region. Limiting your deployment to a single region provides more granular control over deployed regions and allows you to exclude regions as required by your policy or industry regulations. You can select a location in a region that is closest to your mobile users, or select a location as required by your policy or industry regulations.Prisma Accessuses the Hong Kong, Netherlands Central, and US Northwest locations as fallback mobile user locations if other locations are not available. For this reason, Palo Alto Networks strongly recommends that you enable at least one of these locations during mobile user onboarding.Locations denoted with two asterisks areLocal Zones. These locations place compute, storage, database, and infrastructure services close to large population and industry centers; however, they also have some limitations. To add a local zone, reach out to your Palo Alto Networks representative.
- Click theLocationstab and select a region.
- Select one or morePrisma Accessgateways within your selected region using the map.Hovering your cursor over a location highlights it. White circles indicate an available location; green circles indicate that you have selected that location.In addition to the map view, you can view a list of regions and locations. Choose between the map and list view from the lower left corner. In the list view, the list displays regions sorted by columns, with all locations sorted by region. You can selectAllsites within a region (top of the dialog).
- Set up the IP address pools used to assign IP addresses to GlobalProtect endpoints by selecting theIP Poolstab andAddan IP address pool.
- Specify aRegionfor the IP address pool.You can use a single IP address pool for all GlobalProtect endpoints in the world (Worldwide), you can use separate pools for each theater where you have mobile users, or you can specify pools per location group (a group of locations that is smaller than the theater). You can also specify a combination of worldwide, per-theater, or per-location group IP pools. For example, you could add a pool for a specific location group and then add aWorldwidepool to use for all other locations.Use location group-specific IP address pools if you have services that depend on the source IP address of the user to identify the user’s details (such as location-based services or services based on a user group or function) so you can apply access control policies, or to perform routing or policy operations on different countries if the countries are in different compute regions. For example, you could use a separate IP address pool for Canada and one for Brazil, which are in different compute locations, to provide distinct access and security controls.To use location group-specific IP address pools, you must also specify a Worldwide or theater-specific pool.GlobalProtect mobile users consume the IP addresses in the location group first, then theater-specific IP addresses, then Worldwide IP addresses. For example, if you specify a pool for a location group and Worldwide, and you then exhaust the available IP addresses in the location group pool,Prisma Accessthen takes IP addresses from theWorldwidepool to use in that location group.
- To specify IP pools that can be used by all GlobalProtect mobile users, selectWorldwide.
- To specify IP pools that can be used by GlobalProtect users in a specific theater, select the theater.
- To specify IP pools that are specific to the location group, select it from the list.
- Enter anIP Poolto assign to the endpoints in the region you selected.
- Enter a minimum required subnet of /23 (512 IP addresses) per location. Additional locations require a minimum /23 subnet. If you specify a Worldwide subnet, the minimum required subnet is /23 but we recommend IP Address Pools for a GlobalProtect Mobile Users Deployment to allocate a of IP addresses that is equal to or greater than the number of licensed mobile users so that they can log in at the same time.Don't specify addresses that overlap with other networks you use internally or with the pools you assigned when you Configure the Prisma Access Service Infrastructure (Panorama). In addition, don't use the following IP addresses and subnets, becausePrisma Accessreserves those IP addresses and subnets for its internal use.:
- 169.254.0.0/16
- 100.64.0.0/10
We recommend using an RFC 1918-compliant IP address pool. While we support the use of non-RFC 1918-compliant (public) IP addresses for mobile users, we don't recommend using them due to possible conflicts with internet public IP address space.
- To specify the DNS resolution settings for your internal and external (public) domains, selectNetwork Servicestab andAddthe settings.GlobalProtect endpoints with an active tunnel connection use their virtual network adapters rather than their physical network adapters and therefore require separate DNS resolution settings.Configure network settings in theNetwork Serviceswindow.
- Select aRegionfrom the drop-down.SelectWorldwide, select a theater, or select a location group to apply the DNS settings globally. If you specify multiple proxy settings with a mix of Worldwide, theater, and location group-specific settings,Prisma Accessuses the settings for the location group, then theater, then Worldwide.Prisma Accessevaluates the rules from top to bottom in the list.
- Addone or more rules to configure the DNS settings forInternal Domains.
- Enter a uniqueRule Namefor the rule.
- Don't enter a 127.0.0.1 address as it can causePrisma Accessinternal routing issues.
- you want your internal DNS server to only resolve the domains you specify, enter the domains to resolve in theDomain List. Specify an asterisk in front of the domain; for example, *.acme.com. You can specify a maximum of 1,024 domain entries.Prisma Accesshas a predefined rule to resolve *.amazonaws.com domains using the Cloud Default server. If you want your internal DNS servers to resolve a more-specific *.amazonaws.com domain (for example, *.s3.amazonaws.com), enter the URL in theDomain List.Prisma Accessevaluates the domain names from longest to shortest, then from top to bottom in the list.
- If you have aCustom DNS serverthat can access your internal domains, specify thePrimary DNSandSecondary DNSserver IP addresses, or selectUse Cloud Defaultto use the defaultPrisma AccessDNS server.
- Specify the DNS settings forPublic Domains.
- Use Cloud Default—Use the defaultPrisma AccessDNS server.
- Same as Internal Domains—Use the same server that you use to resolve internal domains. When you select this option, the DNS Server used to resolve public domains is same as the server configured for the first rule in theInternal Domainssection.
- Custom DNS server—If you have a DNS server that can access your public (external) domains, enter the Primary DNS server address in that field.
(Optional) You canAddaDNS Suffixto specify the suffix that the client should use locally when an unqualified hostname is entered that it can't resolve, for example, acme.local. Don't enter a wildcard (*) character in front of the domain suffix (for example, acme.com). You can add multiple suffixes. - If you wantPrisma Accessto proxy DNS requests, configure values for UDP queries (theIntervalto retry the query in seconds and the number of retryAttemptsto perform.For more information about howPrisma Accessproxies DNS requests, see DNS Resolution for Mobile Users—GlobalProtect Deployments.
- (Optional)UseStatic IP Entriesto resolve FQDNs to specific IP addresses.This functionality can be useful if you have guest internet services at your organization and you want your guests to safely use search engines, preventing them from searching for potentially inappropriate or offensive material that could be against company policy. To do so, enter a uniqueNamefor the static entry rule, anFQDN, and the IPAddresswhere the FQDN request should be directed.
- (Optional) If your deployment uses Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) based, you can specify WINS servers to resolve NetBIOS name-to-IP address mapping by selectingWINS Configuration; selecting a region for the WINS server or selecting Worldwide to apply the WINS configuration worldwide, then specifying aPrimary WINSand, optionally,Secondary WINSserver address.After you enable WINS,Prisma Accesscan push WINS configuration to mobile users’ endpoints over GlobalProtect.
- (Optional) Select Advanced RCODE Support to allow the primary DNS server to fail over to the secondary DNS server if an RCODE 2 (SERVFAIL) and RCODE 5 (REFUSED) DNS return code is received.A DNS response code of SERVFAIL refers to a communication error with the primary DNS server, and a DNS response code of REFUSED means that the primary DNS server refused to provide the requested information. In both cases, the service fails over to the secondary DNS server.
- (Optional) If you allow your mobile users to manually select gateways from the GlobalProtect app, select theManual Gateway Locationsthat the users can view from their GlobalProtect app.Choosing a subset of onboarded locations reduces the number of available gateways that mobile users can view in their GlobalProtect app for manual gateway selection.If you don't select manual gateways in this tab,Prisma Accessselects the following list of gateways by default.
- Australia Southeast
- Belgium
- Brazil South
- Canada East
- Finland
- France North
- Germany Central
- Hong Kong
- India West
- Ireland
- Israel
- Japan Central
- Netherlands Central
- Saudi Arabia
- Singapore
- South Africa Central
- South Korea
- Taiwan
- UK
- US East
- US West
Prisma Accesslets you select only gateways that you have onboarded. For example, if you don’t chooseUKwhen you select locations, you can't selectUKas a manual gateway (the location is grayed out).If you need to delete a location after you onboard it, and it's selected as one of theManual Gateway Locations, be sure to deselect it here as well as in theLocationstab. - ClickOKto save the Onboarding settings.
- ConfigureIPv6 Availabilityoptions.If you use IPv6 networking in your Mobile Users—GlobalProtect deployment, you can configurePrisma Accessto use IPv6 addresses in your mobile user networking. You also need to enable IPv6 networking globally in yourPrisma Accessinfrastructure before you can use IPv6 addressing.
- (Optional, Windows and macOS only) Exclude video traffic from the GlobalProtect tunnel.Exclude video traffic from the tunnel; then,AddorDeletevideo streaming applications that you want to exclude from the GlobalProtect tunnel.
- Create security policy rules to secure traffic for your mobile users.
- Select theDevice Groupin which to add policy rules. You can select the Mobile_User_Device_Group or the parent device group that you selected when setting upPrisma Accessfor mobile users.
- Create security policy rules. Make sure that you don't define security policy rules to allow traffic from any zone to any zone. In the security policy rules, use the zones that you defined in the template stack.
- Configure logs to forward toStrata Logging Service.The Cloud Services plugin automatically adds the following Log Settings () after a new installation or when removing non-DeviceLog SettingsPrisma Accesstemplates from aPrisma Accesstemplate stack:
- Log Settings for System logs (system-gpcs-default), User-ID logs (userid-gpcs-default), HIP Match logs (hipmatch-gpcs-default), and GlobalProtect logs (gp-prismaaccess-default) are added to the Mobile_User_Template.
- Log Settings for System logs (system-gpcs-default), User-ID logs (userid-gpcs-default), and GlobalProtect logs (gp-prismaaccess-default) are added to the Remote_Network_Template.
- Log Settings for System logs (system-gpcs-default) and GlobalProtect logs (gp-prismaaccess-default) are added to the Service_Conn_Template.
These Log Setting configurations automatically forward System, User-ID, and HIP Match logs toStrata Logging Service. - (Optional) Forward logs for other log types toStrata Logging Service.To do this, you must create and attach a log forwarding profile to each policy rule for which you want to forward logs.
- Select theDevice Groupin which you added the policy rules.
- SelectandObjectsLog ForwardingAdda profile. In the Log Forwarding Profile Match List,Addeach log type that you want to forward.The following example enables forwarding of Traffic, Threat Prevention, WildFire Submission, URL Filtering, Data Filtering, and Authentication logs.
- SelectPanorama/Strata Logging Serviceas the Forward Method. When you select Panorama, the logs are forwarded toStrata Logging Service. You will be able to monitor the logs and generate reports from Panorama.Strata Logging Serviceprovides a seamless integration to store logs without backhauling them to your Panorama at the corporate headquarters, and Panorama can queryStrata Logging Serviceas needed.
- Selectand edit the policy rule. InPoliciesSecurityActions, select the Log Forwarding profile you created.
- Commit all your changes to Panorama and push the configuration changes toPrisma Access.
- Click.CommitCommit and Push
- Edit Selectionsand, in thetab, make sure thatPrisma AccessMobile UsersandExplicit Proxyare selected in thePush Scope, then clickOK.
- In theDevice Groupstab, ensure that you've selectedExplicit ProxyandGlobalProtectdevice groups.
