Overview
This document gives step by step instructions for how to download and install GlobalProtect VPN for mobile devices.
Important
If you have Duo Multi-Factor Authentication on your account, your preferred DUO method will be used without the normal Duo prompt that allows you to select your method; so, if you have mobile push configured, you will simply get a notification on your mobile device to approve. The client will not give you any indication that this happened.
We are working with OIT to improve this behavior; however, for technical reasons there is not currently a more user-friendly solution.
