MFA "SSL Connect Error"

L4 Transporter

I am testing Multi Factor Authentication with Okta. I have configured everything (including certificate profile) as per the guide as well as Okta specific YouTube video, The first factor (active directory auth) is working fine, however, I am getting "SSL Connect Error" in the authentication logs. I could see the 443 connections going to Okta. How can I troubleshoot the issue? How do I get visibility in the SSL connect error?

{"res":"FAIL","msg":"SSL connect error"}

As per PAN support,

It is a known issue - PAN-95152 (TLS connection to Okta server is rejected because of TLS 1.0 from FW). It is reported on 8.1.0 and fixed versions are 8.0.13 (release ETA 27 sept), 8.1.2.

I captured the traffic and can see that the firewall is using TLS 1.0 for auth requests. Is there any way to enforce TLS 1.2? Okta has enforced TLS 1.2.

We are encountering exact same issue the only difference is we are unable to find any attempt traffic against Okta. Keen to find out a way to see more "SSL Connect Error"

The firewall I am testing MFA on, is in the internal network and I have one more PAN firewall on the internet edge. I did packet capture to confirm behavior from the PAN firewall (TLS 1.0) and my machine browser (TLS 1.2).

hi, this will be fixed in the next minor release of PANOS, 8.0.13 and 8.1.2

I didn't see PAN-95152 in the release notes for 8.0.13. However, after upgrading to 8.0.13 my MFA cert profile issue disappeared and is successfully authenticating users hitting authentication policies now.

 

I am not getting prompts in GlobalProtect for non-web based applications still. That doesn't work on 8.1.3 either. I had it working in the 8.0.0 beta but hadn't tried it out since but now have a use case.
