Client Connector
Configuring Automatic Username Population for IdP Authentication
You can configure Zscaler Client Connector to automatically populate the username field for your organization’s IdP login form using either JavaScript or the login_hint
parameter.
To configure automatic username population:
- In the Zscaler Client Connector Portal, go to Administration.
- In the left-side navigation, go to Client Connector Support.
- On the App Supportability tab, enable Pre-Populate Client Connector Username.
Select from the following options:
- Using Javascript: Use this option to have Zscaler Client Connector use Javascript in the IdP page during the SAML workflow to autofill the username field for your organization’s IdP login form.
- Using login_hint SAML attribute: Use this option to have Zscaler Client Connector send the login_hint parameter to both Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) during authentication. ZIA and ZPA pass the
login_hint
parameter to the IdP as a SAML Subject (NAMEID
) to pre-populate the user name.
If you select both options, the
login_hint
parameter takes precedence over Javascript.
