Customize the GlobalProtect Portal Login, Welcome, and Help Pages
GlobalProtect provides default login, welcome, and/or help pages. However, you can create your own custom
pages with your corporate branding, acceptable use policies, and links to your internal resources as follows:
Step 4 Specify how GlobalProtect agent
upgrades will occur.
If you want to control when users can
upgrade, for example if you want to test a
release on a small group of users before
deploying it to your entire user base, you
can customize the agent upgrade behavior
on a per-configuration basis. In this case,
you could create a configuration that
applies to users in your IT group only to
allow them to upgrade and test and
disable upgrade in all other user/group
configurations. Then, after you have
thoroughly tested the new version, you
could modify the agent configurations for
the rest of your users to allow the
upgrade.
By default, the
Agent Upgrade field is set to prompt the end user to
upgrade. To modify this behavior, select one of the following
options:
• If you want upgrades to occur automatically without interaction
with the user, select
transparent.
• To prevent agent upgrades, select
disable.
• To allow end users to initiate agent upgrades, select
manual. In
this case, the user would select the
Check Version option in the
agent to determine if there is a new agent version and then
upgrade if desired. Note that this option will not work if the
GlobalProtect agent is hidden from the user. See Step 2 for
details.
Step 5 Specify whether to display a welcome
page upon successful login.
A welcome page can be a useful way to
direct users to internal resources that they
can only access when connected to
GlobalProtect, such as your Intranet or
other internal servers.
By default, the only indication that the agent has successfully
connected to GlobalProtect is a balloon message that displays in the
system tray/menubar. You can also opt to display a welcome page in
the client browser upon successful login as follows:
1. Select the
Display welcome page check box.
2. Select which
Welcome Page to display from the drop-down. By
default, there is one welcome page named
factory-default.
However, you can define one or more custom welcome pages
that provide information specific to your users, or to a specific
group of users (based on which portal configuration gets
deployed). For details on creating custom pages, see Customize
the GlobalProtect Portal Login, Welcome, and Help Pages.
Step 6 Save the agent configuration settings. 1. If you are done creating client configurations, click
OK to close
the Configs dialog. Otherwise, for instructions on completing
the client configurations, return to Define the GlobalProtect
Client Configurations.
2. If you are done configuring the portal, click
OK to close the
GlobalProtect Portal dialog.
3. When you finish the portal configuration,
Commit your
changes.
