Note 1: Configuring the Browser is a once off process, which allows the browser to launch the physically installed app on your machine. If you clear your Browser cache, you will need to follow this process again.

Note 2: The Client Base launcher will fail to launch a session if you have popups being blocked in your browser. Please check popups are allowed in your browser if your sessions appear to “Do Nothing” when attempting to connect.

Note 3: If you would like to install the client based launcher using your software deployment tool, you can use the following switch to install it silently without the installer GUI – passwordstatelauncher.exe /s.
