Support for default/external browser for Remote Access VPN SAML IdP Auth?

VPN

Does anyone know if Remote Access VPN supports external/default browsers when doing SAML IdP Authentication? It seems like the embedded browser is still using IE and a few Checkmates posts I found from a couple months ago make it seem like this isn’t supported yet. We’re using client E86.50 on a gateway running R81.10 Take 78.

I’m assuming that I would change the value for “idp_browser_mode” in the trac.defaults file to something else besides “embedded” if it did support another browser.

You should change the value to “default_browser”

:idp_browser_mode (
    :gateway (
        :default (default_browser)
    )
)

Thanks for the response. My trac.defaults file is in a different format as we use Endpoint Security for RA VPN and the only trac.defaults file is located at: c:\program files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Security\Endpoint Connect and the line item looks like:

idp_browser_mode STRING embedded GW_USER 1

Would it be the same result if I replaced “embedded” with “default_browser” there?

Yes it should. You will likely have to recreate the site profile thouigh.

I’ll try it. Thanks, Ninja!
