Configure Multiple Portals in Prisma Access
Learn how to configure multiple portals with multiple authentication methods.
You can configure two portals based on port numbers in the same
Prisma Access
tenant, with each portal supporting a different authentication method. Enable
this feature to migrate mobile users from one authentication method to another
without creating a new Prisma Access
tenant. This configuration enables
greater authentication flexibility by allowing you to gradually move users to
cloud-based authentication, without the need for a separate Prisma Access
instance.Prisma Access
with GlobalProtect multiple portals uses a different port
number for each portal within the same tenant. Configure the first GlobalProtect
portal using the standard port 443. When you enable the multiple portal feature,
Prisma Access
configures a second GlobalProtect portal using an
alternative port 8443, and allows connections to the second portal using the same
FQDN as the first. The multiple portals feature supports only two portals per
FQDN.When a user connects to the portal using port 443, the traffic is sent to the first
authentication portal with no change to the IP address. This flow is unchanged from
configurations without the GlobalProtect multiple portals feature. When a user
connects using port 8443, the traffic instead hits a destination NAT rule. This
leads the user to the second authentication portal at a different IP address. After
authenticating at either portal, the user is forwarded to the gateway with the
authentication override cookie. This feature depends on
the authentication override cookie settings, and these settings are enabled for both
portals and on gateways.
The following table describes GlobalProtect multiple portals support with
combinations of authentication methods and certificates using legacy authentication
(such as RADIUS or LDAP) on the primary portal and cloud authentication (such as
SAML or SAML with CAS) on the secondary portal.
Primary Portal User Authentication | Secondary Portal User Authentication | Connection Method Options |
---|---|---|
Legacy, No certificate | Cloud, No certificate | User logon (always-on, on-demand) |
Legacy, <auth profile selection> AND Client Certificate Note: Certificate profile must be the same. | Cloud, <auth profile selection> AND Client Certificate Note: Certificate profile must be the same. | User logon (always-on, on-demand) Pre-logon (always-on, on-demand) |
Legacy, No certificate | Cloud, <auth profile selection> OR Client Certificate | User logon (always-on, on-demand) |
Legacy, <auth profile selection> OR Client Certificate Multiple portal configurations don't support clients using only
client certificate for authentication | Cloud, No certificate | User logon (always-on, on-demand) Pre-logon (always-on, on-demand), if certificate |
Legacy, <auth profile selection> OR Client Certificate Multiple portal configurations don't support clients using only
client certificate for authentication | Cloud, <auth profile selection> OR Client Certificate Multiple portal configurations don't support clients using only
client certificate for authentication | User logon (always-on, on-demand) Pre-logon (always-on, on-demand), if certificate |
Ensure the following before you configure multiple portals:
- Both portals have the same certificate profiles or no certificate profiles
- Allowlist associated with the authentication profiles should be the same
- When you accept a cookie for authentication override on the portal, ensure the cookie lifetime is the same on the portal as well as on the gateway
- Multiple portal configurations don't support using only client certificate-based authentication
When configuring multiple GlobalProtect portals with Traffic Steering, don't
configure ); if you do, mobile users can't connect to the secondary
portal.

- Verify if you can connect to both portals with different authentication profiles for the gateway.
- Log in to your Windows machine.
- Connect to the portals in your GlobalProtect app.When you change the connection between portals of different authentication methods, authenticate the user login.If the authentication cookie expires when you connect to the 8443 portal and switch to the manual gateway, GlobalProtect connects to theBest Available Gateway.If your GlobalProtect app uses cached portal configurations, fall back to portal does not work.
