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. 
>configure
# set deviceconfig setting global-protect timeout 120
#commit
