GP: "Matching Client Config Not Found" when trying to connect

John-Palmer — Thu, 07 Feb 2019 21:05:02 GMT

Heya Gurus!

I'm running into an issue that I can't seem to figure out. I helped a client migrate a firewall over from Checkpoint to PAN. A few false starts and we got it going. Now we are working through the 'b' list of items that needed to be figured out and tested.

We have the GP portal/gateway configured for LDAP/AD authentication, and the auth part looks to be working fine. However when the client connects, it comes up with an error 'Matching Client Config not found'. We've checked the client config section, there's nothing restricting the OS, the AD auth is first in the list. We've tried removing the AD group from the list, and also adding in a single account, with no AD accounts, but still getting this error.

Has anyone run into this, or have any suggestions on what we can try to resolve this?

Additional information:

This is running on PANOS 8.1.5, and GP version 4.1.9, using the 64 bit version on a Win10 laptop for testing.

What do the system logs say for the failing GP clients? What do the GP client logs say?

Here's what the GP Logs are saying:

could be many things but firstly are you using fqdn for gateway or ip address and do you have a tunnel interface for the gateway.

have you modified this line to hide some info...

(T6428) 02/06/19 18:42:20:796 Debug(2427): gateway (external IP)'s config is

if so... was it displaying IP or FQDN.

I can re-create the error below..

(T7952) 02/08/19 12:58:37:977 Debug(2427): gateway wlapa3p7.vpn.xxx.xxx.uk's config is
<response status="error">
  <portal>test-N</portal>
  <user>michael ball</user>
  <error>Matching client config not found</error>
</response>

I also see this message on the Gweneth Paltro system logs

( description contains 'GlobalProtect gateway client configuration failed. User name: michael ball, Client OS version: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1, 64-bit, error: Matching client config not found.' )

I simply removed myself from the Gateway\Agent\Client Settings\User\User Group.

so... it seems you have an issue with user/user groups on the gateway settings. Not the Portal.
