Hi team,
While trying to deploy Kerberos SSO for enduser authentication I came up to the following issue with the captive portal (browser challenge).
When an end user logged in a windows (part of the domain) tries to connect to "http://neverssl.com" for example here is what's happens on the wire :
1/ The browser send a request to neverssl.com
2/ Pan redirect the browser to the captive portal with 302 to the location : http://palologin.kabe.lab:6080/php/browser_challenge.php?vsys=1&rule=0&url=http://neverssl.com%2f
3/ The browser follows the redirect and gets this response from the palo :
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

<li>Your browser does not support both Kerberos and NTLM authentication. Waiting for refresh.</li>

4/ The browser executes the javascript and sends a GET request to "http://palologin.kabe.lab/php/browser_challenge.php?vsys=1&rule=0&url=http://neverssl.com%2f&preauth..."
5/ The browser get no responses, and the authentication fails !
The problem is at step 4/ in which the paloalto should make the browser send the GET request to "http://palologin.kabe.lab:6080/php/browser_challenge.php?vsys=1&rule=0&url=http://neverssl.com%2f&preauthid=&returnreq=yes" instead.
I used fiddler to change the browser request number 4 (and add the :6080) and the authentication worked just fine !
I tried to search for similar bug in the KB without success , am I the only one who is facing this issue ? or am I missing something in my config ?
I'm on version 91.2 and here is my config :
