Key Match Failed Updated: Palo Alto Failed To Fetch Device Certificate Tpm Public

In PAN-OS 11.0+, you can disable strict matching:

Before assuming the TPM is broken, try these steps in order to re-establish the connection. Step 1: Force a Commit

In some documented cases, Palo Alto support resolved the issue by updating the "claim key" and "hash key" from their backend systems. After these updates, a commit force completed the fix without requiring certificate regeneration.

When the firewall came back online, the error logs were gone. The device reached out to the Palo Alto licensing servers. This time, the handshake was perfect:

Open PowerShell as Administrator:

Alex uploaded his saved configuration XML file. He imported it into the device. Because the TPM had been reset and the config was restored on the same hardware, the device accepted the restore. The firewall rebooted.

Ensure SCEP profiles include TPM key storage flag.
