When using 'gp-saml-gui' in order to connect to the Palo Alto Global Protect (PAGP) VPN, 'gp-saml-gui' hangs after a successful authentication.
This appears to be due to bug in 'gp-saml-gui' which was triggered as a result of server-side changes in PAGP;
'gp-saml-gui' expects the HTTP headers returned by the PAGP server to be in lowercase format, but the headers are being returned in mixed-case format.
The HTTP specification requires headers to be interpreted in a case-insensitive manner.
This upstream patch in 'gp-saml-gui' fixes the issue: https:/
Manually applying the change in the patch to my system fixes the issue.
Without applying the patch, 'gp-saml-gui' cannot connect to the VPN server and is thus broken.
This bug appears to fall under the Stable Release Update (SRU) criteria of a "High-impact bug", because an update needs to be applied to the package due to a change in the PAGP VPN server which causes the current version to cease working.
I therefore request that the aforementioned patch be applied to the stable 'gp-saml-gui' package.
