Migrate GlobalProtect users from LDAP portal to SAML portal

Dear community,

Pleae could someone help with my GlobalProtect transition from LDAP to SAML ?

The SAML side of things has been setup and tested. I would now like to move from one portal and gateway (using LDAP auth) to new ones using SAML auth but I am struggling to see how to do this transparently for all our users with minimal disruption or manual intervention from IT.

Example:

Windows domain managed by GPOs.

Current portal & gateway IP: 50.0.0.1 (LDAP auth)

New portal & gateway IP: 60.0.0.1 (SAML auth using auth cookie)

I would like to push the new portal IPs to my GP clients and change the preference so the GP clients will use those new IPs automatically. As a result my users should automatically authenticate to the new SAMP portal and gateway.

I'm struggling to achieve this. There is a reg key for Windows but that only defines the IP that you get when you install the GP client for for the first time. I won't change anything after the GP client has been installed. Am I missing anything?

I could push new client install from SCCM but again this will cause disruption and will only add a single IP from what I can tell.

Any advice would be much appreciated. I need to do this for over a 1000 users around the world.

Thank you

Michal
