GP SAML Client Certificate

PhRose — Thu, 02 Jul 2020 15:17:36 GMT

Hi,

we are about to switch to SAML (from ldap). We use an on premise ADFS for this. The configuration fits so far except one thing. When i connect via SAML to our portal i get a popup to confirm the user certificate. The user certificate was issued by our internal enterprise ca.

I think the certificate is not in the global protect browser-certificate-store, but how can i fix this? Have any of you ever had anything similar?

I might be misunderstanding what your issue is, but I'll give it a try. In your portal configuration, do you have a anything configured under Authentication > Certificate Profile? This will cause the portal to prompt you for a client certificate. The certificate profile needs to be configured with the CA cert and key that signed your client certs in order to match it, and allow access to the portal. If that's not what you're experiencing, please elaborate or provide screenshots.

Hi @OwenFuller ,

thank you for your reply. Yes, there is a certificate profile configured.

But i have already solved the problem on my own. The certificate profile configuration was right, but portal domain was not in my intranet-zone-list (inside of internet explorer). So it seems that GP uses the internet explorer as browser.
