Set Up the GlobalProtect Infrastructure Deploy the GlobalProtect Client Software

Test the Agent Installation

Use the following procedure to test the agent installation.

Test the Agent Installation

Step 1 Create a client configuration for testing

the agent installation.

When initially installing the

GlobalProtect agent software on

the client system, the end user must

be logged in to the system using an

account that has administrative

privileges. Subsequent agent

software updates do not require

administrative privileges.

As a best practice, create a client configuration that is limited to a

small group of users, such as administrators in the IT department

responsible for administering the firewall:

1. Select

Network > GlobalProtect > Portals and select the portal

configuration to edit.

2. Select the

Client Configuration tab and either select an existing

configuration or click

Add to add a new configuration to deploy

to the test users/group.

3. On the

User/User Group tab, click Add in the User/User

Group section and then select the user or group who will be

testing the agent.

4. On the

Agent tab, make sure Agent Upgrade is set to prompt

and then click

OK to save the configuration.

5. (Optional) Select the client configuration you just

created/modified and click

Move Up so that it is before any

more generic configurations you have created.

Commit the changes.

Step 2 Log in to the GlobalProtect portal. 1. Launch your web browser and go to the following URL:

https://<portal address or name>

For example, https://gp.acme.com.

2. On the portal login page, enter your user

Name and Password

and then click
