How to disable the GlobalProtect Portal login page

Overview

Starting from PAN-OS 6.1, access to the GlobalProtect Portal login page can be disabled from a web browser.

This option prevents public access to the portal login page and prevents unauthorized attempts to authenticate to the GlobalProtect Portal.

Note: This option does not affect GlobalProtect Agents' access to the portal.

Steps

Follow these steps to disable the GlobalProtect portal login from a web browser:

1. In the WebGUI, go to Network > GlobalProtect > Portals > GlobalProtect Portal > Portal Configuration.

2. On the Portal Configuration tab > Appearance > Select 'Disable login page'.

After this configuration is committed, the Global Protect portal page will instead return a '404 page not found' error message
