Objective


To Configure GlobalProtect Portal Page to be Accessed on any Port.

For instance in this article, the service port TCP-7000 on the outside IP address 10.10.20.21 (Untrust Interface) will be translated to 10.10.20.45 (loopback) on service port TCP-443.



Environment


  • Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW)
  • Supported PAN-OS
  • GlobalProtect Portal


Procedure


Although it is not possible to change the port GlobalProtect uses, it is possible to use another port with the help of a loopback IP address and security rules.

 

Steps:

  1. Create a loopback on the Untrust zone

 

  1. Make sure the Untrust interface can reach the loopback.
  2. Assign the loopback as the portal address and the gateway address.


 

  1. In the GlobalProtect Portal > Agent > External tab, set the external gateway to address (10.10.20.21:7000 for example)

 

  1. Security policy must match the original destination IP address and original destination port, but use the post-NAT destination zone.



  2. Create a Destination NAT rule with service:7000 to 10.10.20.21 (Untrust Interface) translating to 10.10.20.45 (loopback) on service:443

NAT Rule GP 7000 
 

  1. Create a Security policy rule with the destination address as the Untrust interface and services as 7000 and 443

    Security Rule GP 7000 

  2. With this configuration, you will be able to access the Globalprotect portal page on outside IP address port 7000 https://10.10.20.21:7000 which will translate to https://10.10.20.45:443. Download and install the GlobalProtect client software.

 

  1. Use the credentials in the username & password fields. In the portal field, use the IP as 10.10.20.21:7000 as shown.
