Response pages on External/Public interface

raji_toor — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 11:36:35 GMT

Can response pages be considered for External/Public facing interface or is it a complete no.

We want to use captive portal to authenticate certain users for certain systems.

Hi @raji_toor ,

For captive portal , you can create an authentication policy rule with the zones available in your firewall.

Here is a doc on configuring captive portal.

As far as response pages, those are created for internal users try to access a URL.

@JayGolf Yes they were traditionally meant for internal users. But does exposing response pages externally posses a increased risk if exposed on public interface, this is what I am looking for. We have GlobalProtect portal too exposed from the firewall, does exposing response page would be any different.

For the usecase it can work as possible access method which Cloud Identity Engine and MFA to access an internal resource or add authentication to an unauthenticated website.
