Explanation

Palo Alto Networks cloud-connected services - including Device Telemetry, IoT Security, and other cloud subscriptions - require a Device Certificate to authenticate the firewall to the Palo Alto Networks cloud infrastructure. This certificate is provisioned per device and uniquely identifies it to cloud services. External CA certificates, self-signed root CA certificates, and server certificates serve different purposes (trust anchors, internal PKI, inbound TLS termination) and cannot fulfill the cloud service authentication requirement.
