Symptom
- PA-VM deployment successful in AWS-China
- Ping and SSH to EIP works fine (NOTE: provided you have Security Groups and NACL configured to allow it ),But Unable to access the GUI. GUI is not displayed.
- Note: AWS China is not a Region like the other we see on AWS console. You have to login to a different AWS console.
Environment
- AWS China - Beijing
- PA VM - 8.0.4 ( On AWS)
Cause
- The root cause of this issue is not a corrupt AMI or configuration of either AWS or PA-VM
- The root cause is the "Chinese laws and regulations".
Resolution
- To host a website in mainland China you are required to obtain an ICP (Internet Content Provider) Recordal or License.
- Access to PA-VM is nothing but accessing the public IP (EIP or Public IP of the Management interface)
- NOTE: You can obtain an AWS China account without a ICP Recordal/License and use it for anything other than website hosting ports 80, 8080 and 443 as it will be blocked until you provide the required documents.
