Enabling Browser-Based Authentication

If your organization uses advanced multi-factor authentication (MFA) for SAML, your users can authenticate using their browser instead of authenticating in Zscaler Client Connector. The Zscaler Client Connector app still manages traffic for Internet & SaaS and provides access to applications through Private Applications.

Zscaler must enable this feature.

  1. Go to Infrastructure > Connectors > Client.
  2. Under Platform Settings, select the operating system and click the Platform Settings tab.
  • Applies to Windows version 3.6 and later.

  • Applies to macOS version 3.6 and later.

    1. Select Browser-Based Authentication.

    If you enable Browser-Based Authentication only, Zscaler Client Connector uses the Safari browser for authentication.
