Select NetworkGlobalProtectPortals to set up and manage a GlobalProtect™ portal. The portal provides the management functions for the GlobalProtect infrastructure. Every endpoint that participates in the GlobalProtect network receives its configuration from the portal, including information about the available gateways and any client certificates that are necessary for the app to connect to a gateway. In addition, the portal controls the behavior and distribution of the GlobalProtect app software to macOS and Windows endpoints. For Linux endpoints, you must obtain the software from the Support Site; for mobile devices, the GlobalProtect app is distributed through the Apple App Store (for iOS devices), through Google Play (for Android devices), and through the Microsoft Store (for Windows Phone and other Windows UWP devices), and, for Chromebooks, the GlobalProtect app is distributed by the Chromebook Management Console or through Google Play.
To add a portal configuration, click Add to open the GlobalProtect Portal dialog.
