Global Protect Authentication Timing Out Before Configured Radius Server Timeout
47497
Created On 06/24/19 21:57 PM - Last Modified 06/02/20 01:42 AM
Symptom
- Global Protect Portal/Gateway Authentication Profile is using RADIUS
- RADIUS Server is using MFA.
- RADIUS Server timeout is set to 40 seconds with 2 retries (effective timeout of 120 Seconds)
- Global Protect User Connects and doesn't complete the authentication process quickly.
- Authentication timeout occurs at 30 seconds.
Environment
- Global Protect
- RADIUS Servers
Cause
- global-protect timeout defaults to 30 seconds.
- If global-protect timeout lower than RADIUS server profile timeout/retries, the lower value will be used to timeout the authentication.
- The timeout value is the timeout between Global Protect Client and firewall's Global Protect Portal/Gateway web-server.
Resolution
- Increase the global-protect-timeout value to be greater than the desired RADIUS authentication timeout.
