Symptom
- Clientless VPN portal page is launching the application directly instead of launching portal page post login.
- This happens when "Display application URL address bar" is unchecked
- Example: The clientless link launches google.com once logged in when the configured application just is google.com.
Environment
- Globalprotect(GP) Clientless VPN
- Display application URL address bar
Cause
- There is just one application configured for the user.
- "Display application URL address bar" option is unchecked under "applications to user mapping".
GUI: Network > GlobalProtect > Portal > (portal name) > Clientless VPN > Applications
Resolution
- This is an expected behavior when only one application is defined and application URL address bar is unchecked.
- The clientless VPN landing page will not be displayed and the configured application is launched directly.
- Configure 2 url's/applications in Clientless VPN portal, e.g: Wikipedia url added alongwith google.
- Now the portal page is visible with Application URL bar disabled.
Workaround 2:
- Enable "Display application URL address bar" option.
- Now the clientless VPN landing page is displayed with the configured application.
