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.
