Resolution


 
  1. Check if this service is loaded by running the following command in your Mac terminal
"launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.paloaltonetworks.gp.pangpa.plist"


Example:

xxxxxxxxxxxxMac:~ xxxxxxx$ launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.paloaltonetworks.gp.pangpa.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.paloaltonetworks.gp.pangpa.plist: service already loaded
xxxxxxxxxxxxMac:~ xxxxx$

service already loaded indicates service is running.
  1. If the service is running, then remove Global Protect and re-instal as the root admin on the Mac
  2. Before re-installing. It is important to allow 3rd party apps to run.
  3. Uninstall Global Protect.

  6. Once Global Protect is re-installed, head back over to the "Security and Privacy" settings. A prompt message should pop up which asks if Global Protect is allowed to run on this machine.
  7. Click "YES"
  8. From Mac, click on System Preference > Security and Privacy > General > allow apps download from:
