Embedded browser (IE) for SAML authentication

Kevin_Taylor — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 14:05:20 GMT

Hello,

Is there a roadmap for SAML authentication to use something other than IE when using the VPN client? Implemented a Registration Campaign to prompt employees to register Microsoft Authenticator for MFA. Want to get away from text, etc. During the authenticating process when connecting using the VPN client a prompt is seen to register Microsoft Authenticator. Unfortunately, IE cannot process this.

Best,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

This is something that always irked me as well. In client version E87.30 and up, you can use the default system browser. Check out sk180395.

Thanks,
Ruan
