If the TPM shows errors (e.g., IsReadyPresent = False ), clear the TPM (after backing up BitLocker recovery keys): Clear-Tpm .
The "TPM public key match failed" error suggests a mismatch or failure in validating the public key associated with the TPM. Here are some potential causes and solutions:
This error typically appears in the client logs or the System Log of a Palo Alto firewall when attempting to establish a VPN connection or authenticate a device for access. It signifies a critical failure in the cryptographic handshake between the endpoint’s hardware security module (TPM) and the Palo Alto firewall.
: In some cases, lowering the Management Interface MTU size below the default (e.g., to ) allows the certificate fetch to complete successfully. Force a Commit : Attempt a Commit Force
The TPM public key match failed error can stem from several interconnected issues, often related to the TPM's key management, network connectivity, or underlying software bugs.
This indicates that the Palo Alto client (GlobalProtect) or the firewall itself attempted to locate and retrieve a machine certificate stored on the endpoint. Device certificates are used for (machine-level auth), not user-level auth. The client cannot find a valid certificate that meets the firewall’s requirements.

to gain root access, which allows them to manually erase the invalid certificate from the local filesystem and reset the TPM association so a new certificate can be generated. Palo Alto Networks LIVEcommunity CLI commands
An existing, broken, or expired device certificate gets stuck in the local cache, forcing a key mismatch during renewal.
