How do I change the portal name in my GlobalProtect VPN?

The PSU GlobalProtect service has a new portal name.  If your computer has not already been configured with the new portal name you need to manually change the portal name.

Environment

  5. Enter vpn.psu.edu and click the Add button
  6. Close the settings window and open the GlobalProtect agent again to select the new portal
