Changes to Default Behavior in GlobalProtect App 5.2.9

As part of the security hardening improvements for connect before login deployments using SAML authentication, the behavior of the embedded browser used to communicate with the IdP has changed to prevent users from navigating to other domains. Now, the connect before login feature automatically adds the portal, gateway, and main domain of the IdP to the trusted domain list, and prevents the user from navigating to other domains. In cases where the IdP landing page uses additional domains (for example to handle MFA authentication), you must manually add the additional domains as a comma-separated list to the
TrustedIdPDomains
registry value under the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palo Alto Networks\GlobalProtect\CBL
