HIP Redistribution

  • Provides a mechanism to allow GlobalProtect gateways that receive HIP reports to distribute those reports to other gateways.
  • The existing mechanism of User-ID redistribution can be leveraged for this feature, allowing admins to deploy HIP redistribution easily.
  • Panorama, Log Collectors or Firewalls can all receive and redistribute HIP reports.

 

HIP-Based Identification & Policy Enforcement for Managed/Unmanaged Device Mix

  • Support GlobalProtect Config selection criteria based on:
    • Attributes of the machine certificate presented by GlobalProtect client after logging in to the portal.
    • Serial number of the device sent by GlobalProtect client during login.  The GP portal can query LDAP to check for a matching attribute defined by the admin.  If it exists, consider it a managed device.
    • plist and registry key sent by the GP client after portal login is complete.

  • Gateway HIP Policy Enforcement based on:
    • GP client will send machine certificates that match the cert CA and template specified in the GP portal config (HIP report section).
    • Enhance HIP object to support match criterion of certificate attributes.  HIP reports will be enhanced to show the certificate information as well.

 

Portal and Gateway Location Visibility for End Users

  • Customers with GlobalProtect gateways located in different geographical areas need to put meaningful location-based names of the gateways in the portal configuration, so that the customers know where the gateway they connect to is located.
  • When an end user reports issues with latency or with best gateway selection, GlobalProtect administrator wants to know the source region from which the user is connecting.
