Hotspot Registration with Default Browser

You can register to hotspots with the computer's default browser instead of the client's embedded browser.

To enable default browser launch:

  1. Go to the Endpoint Connect Program folder:

    • 64-bit systems - %programfiles(x86)%\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\

    • 32-bit systems - %programfiles%\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\

    For clients that are part of the Endpoint Security suite, the end of the path is CheckPoint\Endpoint Security\Endpoint Connect.

  2. Edit the trac.defaults file in a plain-text editor like Notepad.

  3. Locate the open_default_browser_for_hotspot parameter and change its value from false to true.

  4. Save the file.

  5. Open the Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

    > net stop TracSrvWrapper

    > net start TracSrvWrapper

To disable default browser launch:

  1. Go to:

    • 64-bit systems - %programfiles(x86)%\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\

  2. Edit the trac.defaults file in a plain-text editor like Notepad.

  3. Locate the open_default_browser_for_hotspot parameter and change its value from true to false.

  4. Save the file.
