Prisma Access All-in-One Skill

Complete Prisma Access configuration management for Strata Cloud Manager (SCM).

This is the all-in-one version. Individual skills are also available: prisma-config, prisma-audit, prisma-migrate, prisma-troubleshoot, prisma-api.

Commands

Determine the user's intent from $ARGUMENTS and execute the corresponding workflow:

config / generate → Configuration Generator
audit / review / check → Configuration Auditor
migrate / move / copy → Tenant Migration
troubleshoot / debug / diagnose → Troubleshooting
api / query / list / create / update / delete → SCM API Operations

If no command is specified, ask the user what they need.

1. Configuration Generator

Generate production-ready Prisma Access configurations as SCM API-compatible JSON payloads.

Supported Configuration Types

Security Policy Rules: pre-rules, post-rules, source/destination zones, App-ID, security profiles, log forwarding
NAT Rules: source NAT (dynamic IP/port, static IP), destination NAT, bidirectional NAT
Decryption Policy: SSL forward proxy, SSL inbound inspection, no-decrypt rules, decryption profiles
URL Filtering Profiles: category actions, custom URL categories, credential phishing prevention
GlobalProtect: portal, gateway, authentication profiles (SAML/LDAP/RADIUS), HIP profiles, split tunneling
Address Objects/Groups: IP netmask, FQDN, IP range, wildcard mask, static/dynamic groups
Service Connections: IPSec tunnels, BGP routing, static routes, QoS
Other: application filters/groups, custom applications, EDLs, tags, log forwarding profiles, security profile groups

Output Format

Always output as SCM API-compatible JSON:

POST https://api.sase.paloaltonetworks.com/sse/config/v1/{resource}?folder={folder}

Include the JSON payload, API endpoint, required folder parameter, and any query parameters.

Best Practices Applied

Application-based rules over port-based; logging on all rules; security profiles on all allow rules
Distinct zones for Mobile Users, Remote Networks, Service Connections
Clear naming conventions with consistent prefixes (e.g., PA-SEC-, PA-NAT-)
Specific rules before general; best-practice security profile groups
Log-at-session-end enabled; log forwarding to SIEM or Cortex Data Lake

2. Configuration Auditor

Audit Prisma Access configurations for security, compliance, and operational best practices.

Audit Categories

Security Policy: shadow rules, overly permissive rules (any/any/any/allow), missing security profiles, missing logging, disabled/unused rules, port-based rules
NAT Policy: missing corresponding security rules, overlapping translations, source NAT exhaustion risks
Decryption Policy: unjustified bypass, missing profiles, expired certificates, overly broad no-decrypt rules
GlobalProtect: weak authentication, missing HIP checks, permissive split tunnel, missing client certificates
Object Hygiene: unused objects, overlapping addresses, unresolvable FQDNs, empty groups, duplicates
Compliance: PAN-OS Best Practice Assessment (BPA), CIS Palo Alto Benchmark, Zero Trust principles

Output Format

For each finding:

[SEVERITY] Category - Finding Title
  Description: What was found
  Location: Rule/object name and position
  Risk: Why this is a problem
  Recommendation: How to fix it

Severity: CRITICAL > HIGH > MEDIUM > LOW > INFO

Summary: health score (0-100), finding counts by severity, top 5 priorities, quick wins.

3. Tenant Migration

Migrate configurations between Prisma Access tenants (TSGs) via SCM API.

Prerequisites

# Source tenant
export SRC_SCM_CLIENT_ID="source-client-id"
export SRC_SCM_CLIENT_SECRET="source-client-secret"
export SRC_SCM_TSG_ID="source-tsg-id"

# Target tenant
export DST_SCM_CLIENT_ID="target-client-id"
export DST_SCM_CLIENT_SECRET="target-client-secret"
export DST_SCM_TSG_ID="target-tsg-id"

Migration Workflow

Export from source tenant in dependency order: tags → addresses → groups → services → profiles → policies
Conflict Detection: check target for name conflicts, reference conflicts, zone mismatches. Options: skip / overwrite / rename
Transform & Import: strip server fields (id, created, last_modified), update folder, resolve renamed references, POST to target
Validate: push candidate config without committing
Commit: only after explicit user confirmation

Safety Guardrails

Dry-run by default: always show what would be imported first
No auto-commit: never commit without user confirmation
Rate limiting: respect SCM API limits

4. Troubleshooting

Diagnose and resolve common Prisma Access issues.

Troubleshooting Areas

GlobalProtect Connectivity: certificates, SAML IdP, HIP check failures, DNS, MTU, UDP 4501 blocking

Security Policy Not Matching: rule ordering, shadow rules, missing SSL decryption for App-ID, zone confusion, stale FQDN, User-ID mapping

Configuration Push Failures: reference errors, duplicate names, invalid values, dependency conflicts, concurrent edits

Remote Network / Service Connection: IKE/IPSec parameter mismatch, pre-shared key, BGP peer config, overlapping IPs

SCM API Errors:

Code	Solution
400	Check JSON payload format
401	Token expired — re-authenticate
403	Check role-based access and TSG ID
404	Verify object name and folder
409	Object exists — use PUT to update
429	Back off and retry

Performance: bandwidth allocation, QoS policy, service edge location, routing, session limits

Diagnostic Approach

Identify the category → 2. Gather info (errors, affected users, timeline) → 3. Check config via API → 4. Identify root cause → 5. Provide fix → 6. Verify

5. SCM API Operations

Execute operations against the Strata Cloud Manager API.

Authentication

TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST "https://auth.apps.paloaltonetworks.com/am/oauth2/access_token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  -d "client_id=${SCM_CLIENT_ID}" \
  -d "client_secret=${SCM_CLIENT_SECRET}" \
  -d "scope=tsg_id:${SCM_TSG_ID}" | jq -r '.access_token')
