Configure Single Sign-Onīefore configuring Palo Alto GlobalProtect you'll first need to enable Duo Single Sign-On for your Duo account and configure a working authentication source. Duo checks the user, device, and network against an application's policy before allowing access to the application. For example, you can require that Salesforce users complete two-factor authentication at every login, but only once every seven days when accessing Palo Alto GlobalProtect.

Duo Single Sign-On acts as an identity provider (IdP), authenticating your users using existing on-premises Active Directory (AD) or any SAML 2.0 IdP and prompting for two-factor authentication before permitting access to Palo Alto GlobalProtect.ĭuo Single Sign-On is available in Duo Beyond, Duo Access, and Duo MFA plans, which also include the ability to define policies that enforce unique controls for each individual SSO application. In addition, as sensitive information makes its way to cloud-hosted services it is even more important to secure access by implementing two-factor authentication.ĭuo Single Sign-On is our cloud-hosted SSO product which layers Duo's strong authentication and flexible policy engine on top of Palo Alto GlobalProtect logins using the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 authentication standard. If a user's primary password is compromised, attackers may be able to gain access to multiple resources. While SSO is convenient for users, it presents new security challenges. Single sign-on (SSO) technologies seek to unify identities across systems and reduce the number of different credentials a user has to remember or input to gain access to resources.
