Configure the ZTP Installer Administrator Account

Configure the ZTP installer admin for on-boarding new ZTP firewalls.
The ZTP installer admin user is an administrator account created for non-IT staff or installation contractor to on-board new ZTP firewalls. The installer admin uses an automatically created installeradmin admin role to limit visibility into the Panorama web interface and only allow the installer the ability to enter the ZTP firewall claim key and serial number on Panorama.
If you want to configure remote authentication instead of a locally defined administrator, you can configure authorization for the ZTP installer administrator account using RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication so long as you pass the installeradmin admin role to the Vendor-Specific Attributes (VSA) for the administrator.
To configure authorization for the ZTP installer admin using SAML authentication, map the installeradmin admin role to the SAML Response Attribute and specify the attribute as Admin Role Attribute in the SAML authentication profile.
  1. Log in to the Panorama Web Interface.
  2. Select PanoramaAdmin Roles and verify that the installeradmin admin role is created.
    The installeradmin is automatically created after you successfully install the ZTP plugin on Panorama.
  3. Configure the ZTP installer administrator user.
    1. Select PanoramaAdministrators and Add a new admin user.
    2. Enter a descriptive Name for the ZTP installer admin user.
