Question
How do I configure separate Global Protect authentication profiles for macOS and Windows users in Strata Cloud Manager?
Environment
- Prisma Access
- Strata Cloud Manager
Answer
- Begin by configuring GlobalProtect Mobile Users following the instructions in this document.
- Once the initial setup is complete, navigate to Manage > Configuration > NGFW and Prisma Access > Identity Services > Authentication and configure distinct authentication profiles for each operating system. The supported authentication methods are detailed here.
- Proceed to Workflows > Prisma Access Setup > GlobalProtect > Infrastructure > User Authentication > Add Authentication.
- Within this section, configure user authentication settings for each operating system.
- The key differentiating factor is the operating system selection in the Authenticate Users From section, specify the appropriate Authentication Method and the corresponding Authentication Profile created in the previous step.
- For enhanced security, you can select certificate-based authentication, and select whether users must authenticate with a client certificate, the authentication profile, or both.
Example: In the following scenario, Windows users authenticate with SAML, while macOS users authenticate with the Cloud Identity Engine.
