Configure the GlobalProtect Portal Set Up the GlobalProtect Infrastructure

Customize the GlobalProtect Agent

The portal client configuration allows you to customize how your end users interact with the GlobalProtect

agents installed on their systems or the GlobalProtect app installed on their mobile devices. You can define

different agent settings for the different GlobalProtect client configurations you create. For more information

on client system requirements, see What Client OS Version are Supported with GlobalProtect?

You can customize:

 What menus and views the users can access.

 Whether or not the users can save their passwords within the agent.

 Whether the users can disable the agent (applies to the user-logon Connect Method only).

 Whether to display a welcome page upon successful login. You can also create custom welcome pages and

help pages that direct your users on how to use GlobalProtect within your environment. See Customize the

GlobalProtect Portal Login, Welcome, and Help Pages.

 Whether agent upgrades will happen automatically or whether the users will be prompted to upgrade.

Step 11 Arrange the client configurations so that

the proper configuration is deployed to

each agent.

When an agent connects, the portal will

compare the source information in the

packet against the client configurations

you have defined. As with security rule

evaluation, the portal looks for a match

starting from the top of the list. When it

finds a match, it delivers the

corresponding configuration to the agent

or app.

• To move a client configuration up on the list of configurations,

select the configuration and click

Move Up.

• To move a client configuration down on the list of configurations,

select the configuration and click

Move Down.

Step 12 Save the portal configuration. 1. Click

OK to save the settings and close the GlobalProtect Portal

dialog.

Commit your changes.

You can also define agent settings directly from the Windows registry or the global Mac plist. For

Windows clients you can also define agent settings directly from the Windows installer

(MSIEXEC). Settings defined in the portal client configurations in the web interface take

precedence over settings defined in the Windows registry/MSIEXEC or the Mac plist. For more

details, see Deploy Agent Settings Transparently.
