GlobalProtect machine pre-logon coverted into a user connection without user certificate in device

L3 Networker

Hi there, we are facing a weird situation with GlobalProtect pre-logon connections.

 

  • We have some laptops with machine certificate only (they do not have user certificates deployed).
  • We want them to connect using this machine certificate, as "pre-logon", so they got limited/specific access to some company resources
  • They are able to establish GP VPN connection but their session is a normal user connection instead of a pre-logon connection because, somehow, the Machine Certificate value is used as if it were a user. So, in short, this is what I'm saying:

These are some useful logs I found in the Tech Support files:

And this is the GlobalProtect Portal profile they are matching as per the logs (GP-Agent-HUB01-On-Demand):
