This feature enables you to configure the GlobalProtect app to
use the default browser to authenticate to
the GlobalProtect portal through the
Client Authentication
setting of the portal configuration. You can now select the
Use Default
Browser option on the
Client Authentication
screen for the app to use the default browser for SAML/CAS authentication to
authenticate to the portal for the first time. The
Use Default
Browser option is displayed on the
Client
Authentication screen only when you choose SAML/CAS as the
authentication profile.
Starting from PAN-OS 11.1, you do not need to set the pre-deployment keys/plist
entries to configure the app to choose whether the app should use the default
browser or embedded browser instead you can configure it through the Client
Authentication setting of the portal configuration.
End users can benefit from using the
default system browser for SAML
authentication because they can leverage the same login for GlobalProtect
with their saved user credentials on the default system browser such as Chrome,
Firefox, or Safari.
