GlobalProtect Quick Configs Remote Access VPN with Pre-Logon
Step 5 Import the trusted root CA certificate
from the CA that issued the machine
certificates onto the portal and
gateway(s).
You do not have to import the
private key.
1. Download the CA certificate in Base64 format.
2. Import the certificate onto each firewall hosting a portal or
gateway as follows:
a. Select
Device > Certificate Management > Certificates >
Device Certificates
and click Import.
b. Enter a
Certificate Name that identifies the certificate as
your client CA certificate.
c.
Browse to the Certificate File you downloaded from the
CA.
d. Select
Base64 Encoded Certificate (PEM) as the File Format
and then click
OK.
e. Select the certificate you just imported on the
Device
Certificates
tab to open it.
f. Select
Trusted Root CA and then click OK.
Step 6 On each firewall hosting a GlobalProtect
gateway, create a certificate profile to
identify which CA certificate to use to
validate the client machine certificates.
Optionally, if you plan to use client
certificate authentication to authenticate
users when they log in to the system,
make sure that the CA certificate that
issues the client certificates is referenced
in the certificate profile in addition to the
CA certificate that issued the machine
certificates if they are different.
1. Select
Device > Certificates > Certificate Management >
Certificate Profile
and click Add and enter a Name to uniquely
identify the profile, such as PreLogonCert.
2. Set
Username Field to None.
3. In the
CA Certificates field, click Add, select the Trusted Root
CA certificate you imported in Step 5 and then click
OK.
4. (Optional) If you will also use client certificate authentication to
authenticate users upon login, add the CA certificate that issued
the client certificates if it is different from the one that issued the
machine certificates.
5. Click
OK to save the profile.
Step 7 Configure a GlobalProtect Gateway.
See the topology diagram shown in
Figure: GlobalProtect VPN for Remote
Access.
Although you must create a certificate
profile for pre-logon access to the
gateway, you can use either client
certificate authentication or
authentication profile-based
authentication for logged in users. In this
example, the same LDAP profile is used
that is used to authenticate users to the
portal.
Select
Network > GlobalProtect > Gateways and add the following
configuration:
Interface—ethernet1/2
IP Address—199.21.7.42
Server Certificate—GP-server-cert.pem issued by Go Daddy
Certificate Profile—PreLogonCert
Authentication Profile—Corp-LDAP
Tunnel Interface—tunnel.2
IP Pool—10.31.32.3 - 10.31.32.118
Commit the gateway configuration.
