  1. For instructions about transferring Mac 10.7 certificate files, see How to Import and Export SSL Certificates in Mac 10.7. How to Export Your SSL Certificates. Open Keychain Access. In the Finder window, under Favorites, click Applications, click Utilities and then double-click Keychain Access.
  2. The keychain services API helps you solve this problem by giving your app a mechanism to store small bits of user data in an encrypted database called a keychain. When you securely remember the password for them, you free the user to choose a complicated one. The keychain is not limited to passwords, as shown in Figure 1.
  3. Multiple references to the same keychain could appear in the Keychain Access application. Applications are unable to retrieve items from a keychain file located on a network volume.

Machine Certificate authentication is used on MAC OS X clients. During the GlobalProtect connection process, the user needs to enter the Local Administrator account credentials to allow access to the System keychain twice.

Open Keychain Access. In the Finder window, under Favorites, click Applications, click Utilities and then double-click Keychain Access. In the Keychain Access toolbar, click File Import Items. In the Keychain Access window, in the Destination Keychain drop-down list, select System.

Access

Cause

When using Machine Certificates with GlobalProtect on Mac OS X Clients, the certificate must be accessed from the 'System' keychain in MAC OS X. This will cause a Keychain Access prompt to appear twice when the client attempts to access the certificate for verification against both portal and gateway.

Workaround

Keychain Access On Windows

  1. Open the Keychain Access application and locate the Machine Certificate issued to Mac OS X Client in the System keychain.
  2. Right-click on the private key associated with Certificate and click Get Info, then go to the Access Control tab
  3. Click '+' to select an Application to allow
  4. Press key combination <Command> + <Shift> + G to open Go to Folder
  5. Enter '/Applications/GlobalProtect.app/Contents/Resources' and click Go
  6. Find PanGPS and click it, and then press Add
  7. Save Changes to private key

The steps above allows GlobalProtect access to only THIS certificate and private key. It will no longer prompt for keychain access, giving users a seamless, no-touch experience with Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect.

Notes:

  • If the workaround provided above doesn't work, please do:
  1. Move the certificate from System keychain to Login keychain
  2. Step-1 should then create a prompt similar to below. Click on 'Always Allow'
  • The procedure has to be done again every time client is updated.
