Symptom
- There is a Prisma Browser setup in Australia region. The IP based enforcement using authentication gateway is also setup for SSO (Single Sign on) enforcement
- The tenant region is in Australia and the users are also physically in Australia and are not using any VPN or proxy solutions.
- When the users login to Prisma Browser, the IDP (Okta in this example) show location notifications from unexpected countries like India, Germany Or UK.
Environment
Prisma Browser
Cause
- The IP based enforcement is available only in specific Compute regions. The IP address Okta is reporting likely belongs to one of the Asia-south1 (Mumbai) or europe-west3 (Frankfurt) regions.
us-east4 (Ashburn, Virginia) us-west1 (Portland) europe-west2 (London) europe-west3 (Frankfurt) Asia-south1 (Mumbai) - This flow is only applicable to the authentication traffic and not for the traffic processing once the users are logged in.
- The current workflow as documented in the above link, does not allow the administrator to choose a region.
Resolution
- This is currently the expected behavior.
- An enhancement request has been filed to support more regions and let the users choose the region.
