Global Protect multiple VPN and multiple authentication methods

RickV2023 — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 14:06:10 GMT

I Have question regarding GlobalProtect:

I have 1 Palo Alto with configured GlobalProtect. I would like to configure 2 profile, 1 for my internal users using SAML authentication,and another for vendors using the local database. Similar to Cisco AnyConnect where you can have a drop down list and pick the connection profile.

Since i am using SAML authentication i know authenticaion sequence is not an option.

Has anybody done such a setup and if so any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

rick

Hi @RickV2023 ,

Can you make it work by setting up different agent configs and assign them to different groups which they apply to ?

As you pointed out you can't add SAML to an auth-sequence. However, there's an existing feature request you can add your vote to. Please reach out to your local SE and have him add your vote to FR# 8448 (Add SAML from Okta in Authentication Sequence ).

Kind regards,

-Kiwi.

No, On Global protect portal and gateway Authentication tab, match only base on OS. The client authentication configurations with OS-specific configurations at the top of the list. The portal looks for a match starting from the top of the list. When it finds a match, it delivers the corresponding configuration to the app.

For example:

Auth failed example :

Two Auth profiles with SAMl and local.

Based on the configuration, Firewall will match the first Any os device and not check the second Authentication.

In order to work this scenario, Change the one of the OS to Mac or any other possible OS device. If the Authentication profile is something other than the SAML, the best way is create the Auth sequence.

Note : Firewall does not support SAML Authentication on Auth Sequence.
