Global Protect Config from Outside Organization

DEBARJD — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 18:06:34 GMT

We are currently using Global Protect with the Portal and Gateway on the same firewall and interface, using SAML authentication through Okta with forced MFA. We have a requirement to allow an outside contractor to connect to our VPN for access to a very specific resource. Their authentication method is going to be unique and likely not use SAML....probably LDAP + CAC card. What is the best way to achieve this? My first thought was to create a secondary authentication profile on the portal, then at the gateway assign these users a unique IP range which I can control. That doesn't seem like a great solution, as the first authentication profile brings up the embedded browser to authenticate to Okta. Do I create second portal and gateway using a loopback interface on the same firewall and direct them there? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,

If you use SAML auth your can't use another authentication method on the same portal/gateway. Why not just set them up with a vendor/guest account in your Okta and have them log in with that and your MFA? Whats the need for then to authenticate against a different source? Does the Vendor want you to have your VPN authenticate against their authentication system?
