It looks like you installed the client OK.. now you need to connect.. 

To  Connect to a GlobalProtect portal Use the command:

globalprotect connect --portal <gp-portal> 

command where <gp-portal>  is the IP address or FQDN of your GlobalProtect portal.

For example:

user@linuxhost:~$

globalprotect connect --portal myportal.example.com

Retrieving configuration... Disconnected myportal.example.com - portal:local:Enter login credentials username:user1 Password: Retrieving configuration... Discovering network... Connecting... Connected

For more info on how to use the client please see:

Hope this helps.
