Prisma Access Mobile—Explicit Proxy deployments support Kerberos authentication. If you have servers, IoT devices, or headless machines that cannot authenticate using SAML, you can use Kerberos authentication instead.
If your deployment uses both SAML and Kerberos for authentication, you can configure both authentication types in a single Explicit Proxy deployment. In this way, you can authenticate mobile users with SAML while authenticating servers, IoT devices or headless machines with Kerberos.
Prisma Access
Explicit Proxy processes the authentication depending on the port used for the authentication traffic:
  • If the authentication traffic uses port 8080, Explicit Proxy uses SAML authentication.
  • If the authentication traffic uses port 8081, Explicit Proxy uses Kerberos authentication.
If only one port is configured, the port that is not configured uses the same authentication profile as the configured port.
Kerberos SSO is available only for endpoints and systems that have access to your Kerberos infrastructure. Endpoints and systems without access to the Kerberos infrastructure must use SAML SSO.
