dns-signature cloud service connection refused.

L1 Bithead

Greetings:

I am seeing in the System Log the following message "dns-signature cloud service connection refused"  Checking the traffic logs the management IP address is not being blocked.  Where do I look to resolve this error message?   Thank you.

This also happens if connection to cloud is refused.

Make sure Firewall management interface has connection to cloud 

Try this command

 

show dns-proxy dns-signature info

Here is the results of the command.  The firewall has Internet access but for some reason cannot connect to the cloud service?

Here is the output of the command.  The firewall does have Internet access and can resolve DNS queries.

I have the identical issue, have you been able to resolve it?

I worked with TAC and we were not able to resolve the issue.  The firewall is located in China so we believe the issue had to do with "The Firewall of China".  The issue since has resolved itself.

I'll open a TAC case also since the Timeout enhancement has not helped.

Tnx!

It seems you have to enable paloalto-dns-security app.

Does anyone have a solution for this? All our firewalls in China are unable to reach "dns.service.paloaltonetworks.com". The result are random DNS requests getting sinkholed and delayed.

 

show dns-proxy dns-signature info

Cloud URL: dns.service.paloaltonetworks.com:443

Telemetry URL: io.dns.service.paloaltonetworks.com:443

Hi Cmuchong,

 

Have you tried what @KoShy said? Allowing the paloalto-dns-security app.

This has helped me.

 

Br,

@cmuchong 

 

IF you have checked this url link https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA14u0000001Uc6CAE

 

Then still same issue then please open up TAC case.

 

Regards

Thanks all, the solution finally was to upgrade to  9.1.11,10.0.7,10.1.1 (PAN-163800). If upgrade is not possible then a workaround is to use an in-country DNS (within China).

Looking for resolution for this one and I see no updates for almost 3 months.  

 

My device are not in China and have the same issue.

 

Any help out there?

I came across this issue and the mgmt internet was in it's own zone, but the zone had the attached security profiles. The firewall lost it's connection to the update server and all traffic and URLs were unable to be classified with a category. Adding a security rule for that zone and IP with no security policies fix the issue for me.
