(Optional) If you aren't using authentication override cookies on your GlobalProtect Gateway already, you may want to enable it to minimize DualShield Radius authentication requests at client reconnection during one gateway session. Refer to the GlobalProtect cookie authentication documentation to fully understand this feature before enabling it.

Click the Agent tab on the left and then click the Client Settings tab. 

Click on the name of your config to open it.

(Optional) On the "Authentication Override" tab check the option Generate cookie for authentication override and Accept cookie for authentication override 

Set a cookie lifetime and select a certificate to use with the cookie. Note that users will not need to repeat 2FA after their initial success when reconnecting during the cookie lifetime duration.

Click OK (twice if you also enabled authentication override cookies) to save the GlobalProtect Gateway settings.
