SAML Authentication Using Okta as IdP for Mobile Users (Strata Cloud Manager)

1. Enable Mobile Users to Authenticate to Prisma Access.

   Complete the steps for defining the Service Provider (SP) settings, including generating or importing the certificate that Prisma Access uses to sign SAML messages that it sends to the identity provider (IdP).
2. Export the Prisma Access signing certificate so that you can import it onto your IdP.

3. Log into Okta as an administrator and create and create SAML 2.0 applications for Prisma Access.

   1. Create a new application integration for Prisma Access. Specify the Platform Type as Web and the sign-on method as SAML 2.0 and click Create.

   2. Configure the following application integration options:

      • Single sign on URL—Enter the URL for the portal (i.e. https://portal114.gpcloudservice.com:443/SAML20/SP/ACS)
      • Use this for Recipient URL and Destination URL—Select this check box.
      • Allow this app to request other SSO URLs—Select this check box and add the URLs for all Prisma Access gateways on the list you copied in the Requestable SSO URLs field.
      • Audience URI (SP Entity ID)—Enter the URL for the portal (i.e. https://portal114.gpcloudservice.com:443/SAML20/SP).
      • Default RelayState—Leave blank.
      • Name ID format—Select EmailAddress.
      • Application username—Select Okta Username.

   3. Select Show Advanced Settings and configure these settings:

      • Allow application to initiate Single Logout—Select this check box.
      • Single Logout URL—Enter https://<Prisma Access-FQDN>:443/SAML20/SP/SLO
        Where <Prisma-Access-FQDN> is the FQDN you defined for Prisma Access when you set up the environment.
      • SP Issuer—Enter the issuer for the service provider.
      • Signature Certificate—Browse to and then select the SAML signing certificate that you exported from Prisma Access, then click Upload Certificate.

   4. In the ATTRIBUTE STATEMENTS (OPTIONAL) area, specify users, Name formats, and values in Okta Expression Language.

      These fields reference, transform and combine attributes to define the Username attribute format to match what you set up on Prisma Access. For example, specify a name format of Basic and a Value of user.firstName.

   5. Optionally, in the Group Attribute Statements (Optional) area, create group attribute options.

      You can’t use group information that’s retrieved from the SAML assertion in either security policy rules or the GlobalProtect app configuration.
   6. Save the configuration.
4. Complete the configuration of the SAML 2.0 web application in Okta and enable the users to use the application. Click View Setup Instructions for details.
