Troubleshooting AWS Client VPN: Client does not open browser for an endpoint — federated authentication

Problem

I use federated authentication for my Client VPN endpoint. When clients try to connect to the endpoint, the client software does not open a browser window, and instead displays a user name and password popup window.

Cause

The configuration file that was provided to the clients does not contain the auth-federate flag.

Solution

Export the latest configuration file, import it to the AWS provided client, and try connecting again.
