Changes to default behavior in GlobalProtect app 6.3.

Changes to Default Behavior in GlobalProtect App 6.3.1

The following topics describe changes to default behavior in GlobalProtect app 6.3.1:
  • Starting from GlobalProtect 6.3.1, if you set the Enable Intelligent Internal Host Detection parameter to yes, GlobalProtect is unable to discover the external network. This triggers the network discovery retry mechanism and GlobalProtect retries network discovery in 5, 10, 20, and then 30 second intervals until internal host detection is resolved to an internal gateway (for example, Cisco AnyConnect).
    If the parameter is set as no (the default value), the GlobalProtect app first connects to the internal gateway followed by the external gateway upon connection failure.
  • Starting from GlobalProtect version 6.3.1, when you configure Tunnel and Proxy mode for the GlobalProtect app along with Always-on mode as the connect method and you want to disconnect the Tunnel and Proxy mode, you must perform the following steps:
    1. Disconnect the GlobalProtect app to disconnect the tunnel (VPN) connection. When you disconnect the app, the tunnel (VPN) connection gets disconnected and the app will still be connected through the proxy mode.
    2. Disable the GlobalProtect app to disconnect both the tunnel and proxy mode. When you disable the app, both the tunnel and proxy mode will be disconnected and the app will not be connected anymore.

Changes to Default Behavior in GlobalProtect App 6.3

The following topics describe changes to default behavior in GlobalProtect app 6.3.0:
  • (Windows Only) Starting with GlobalProtect app 6.3, the maximum value for User Switch Tunnel Rename Timeout app setting of the GlobalProtect portal configuration is increased from 600 sec to 7200 secs. With this enhancement, you can configure the app to stay connected for a longer period (the range is 0-7200 seconds, the default value is 0) when end users switch the RDP connections. End users are prompted to reenter their credentials and authenticate to the app when they switch the RDP connections. GlobalProtect app will get disconnected if they fail to reenter the credentials before the expiry of the set User Switch Tunnel Rename Timeout.
    Previously, the time range that you can configure for User Switch Tunnel Rename Timeout in the app settings was 0-600 secs.
  • Starting with GlobalProtect app 6.3, the Connect with SSL Only option has been renamed. See the table below information about the changes.
