6x9hh (6x9hh) asked a question.

Auto launch re-launches opens apps when already open. Duplicate auto launch

We are testing Auto launch with users and are experiencing two issues.

  1. when needing to re-authenticate and log into Okta due to application and okta timeout settings. It will re-launch all apps set to auto launch. This creates duplicate tabs opening for web apps. is there a way to inhibit this? maybe set it to only auto launch once a day.
  2. when launching two apps with MFA configured. the MFA prompt on the device will only authenticate one of the apps. is there a way to set a delay timer for one of the apps during launch so when the subsequent ones launch, they use the cached token from the first authentication.

    Hello @6x9hh (6x9hh)​ Thank you for reacting out to our Community!

     

    Applications that have the "Auto launch" setting will always open the app at every login. At this time there is not way to set how often this happens.

    At this time there is no way to setup a delay for MFA, if the application has MFA at app level this would be expected behaviour.

     

    However you can add a Feature Request on our Idea section, for a chance that these functionality's will be added in the future.
