GlobalProtect is a Shareware software in the category Education developed by Palo Alto Networks. It was checked for updates 691 times by the users of our client application UpdateStar during the last month. The latest version of GlobalProtect is currently unknown. It was initially added to our database on. Laptops, smartphones, and tablets with the GlobalProtect app automatically establish a secure IPsec/SSL VPN connection to the next-generation firewall using the best gateway, thus providing the organization with full visibility of all network traffic, applications, ports, and protocols.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). When you integrate Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect with Azure AD, you can:

  • Control in Azure AD who has access to Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect with their Azure AD accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location - the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

  • An Azure AD subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
  • Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.

  • Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect supports SP initiated SSO
  • Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect supports Just In Time user provisioning

Adding Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect from the gallery

To configure the integration of Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect into Azure AD, you need to add Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal using either a work or school account, or a personal Microsoft account.
  2. On the left navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service.
  3. Navigate to Enterprise Applications and then select All Applications.
  4. To add new application, select New application.

  6. Select Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

Configure and test Azure AD SSO for Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect

Configure and test Azure AD SSO with Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between an Azure AD user and the related user in Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect, perform the following steps:

  1. Configure Azure AD SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
    1. Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with B.Simon.
    2. Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable B.Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
  2. Configure Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Azure AD SSO

Follow these steps to enable Azure AD SSO in the Azure portal.

  1. In the Azure portal, on the Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect application integration page, find the Manage section and select single sign-on.

  2. On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.

  3. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
