Set DEFAULTBROWSER=YES only for specific connection

L0 Member

I connect to several VPN servers. One requires DEFAULTBROWSER=YES. I cannot connect to the other servers with this set during install. Is there a way to set this only for specific servers? I found some info from a Google search that indicated I can edit an xml file in user settings, but that file does not exist on my system (AppData\Local\Palo Alto Networks\GlobalProtect...)

Hi @ric.hotchkiss ,

 

Was there a reason behind setting the DEFAULTBROWSER=YES installer flag? As you've experienced, this flag overrides portal-specific settings and forces the use of the default browser for all connections. Can you try reinstalling the app without the flag set to yes? Then, in the portal configuration you can enable "Use Default Browser for SAML Authentication" only for the portals the require it.

I need to have DEFAULTBROWSER=YES to connect to one customer computer. It cannot be set to YES for others. I did reinstall without setting DEFAULTBROWSER=YES. I am trying to determine if there is some way to configure GlobalProtect so that connecting to that one computer would use DEFAULTBROWSER=YES. I looked in the registry and found settings here Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Palo Alto Networks\GlobalProtect\Settings. There is an entry for each connection. It looks like the AuthTypes key might be the one, but I have no idea what REG_DWORD to set (currently it is 20 for all of them). In Google searches, I have also seen references to a configuration xml file, but that does not exist on my computer.
