Question

Define the browser when authenticating

Hi,
in our company we use browser as an external user-agent for SAML authentication in an SSL VPN connection. 
When authenticating, Forticlient launches the default browser, but I would like to define which application it opens, as I have a specific browser - not the default one - with my work profile.

Unfortunately, there's no setting on FortiClient that explicitly defines what browser to use for SAML authentication. If external browser is configured on FortiClient for SAML authentication, it'll always open system default browser.
