I don’t find any posts on this, apologies for poor search skills, it has to be in here. Upgraded Friday to 2025.2, 2 of our non-prod environments give a message “You are being redirected to the browser client” message and opens my default browser - to the right home page at least. But I launched epicor.exe or kinetic.exe because I wanted those executables to run. So, where’s the magic switch?
How do I run the smart client with a shortcut? Looks like it’s in the database since it’s only impacting a couple of environments.
Its in the sysconfig file. Change this value to false. Sounds like yours is set to true.

Thanks, Alisa!

The sysconfig in question had <EnforceBrowserFirst value="false" />
So I deleted the line entirely, still being redirected to the browser client.

Can you do diff between the sysconfig file that works and the one that doesn’t? Maybe there is another key.
If the line is not there at all it always redirects. I learned this the hard way.

I wonder if the key was in your file, but commented out? Try putting it back in but double check its not commented?

Potentially resolved.
The sysconfig that auto-browsers (new compound verb) the user has this:
<!--Azure AD flag to persist refresh tokens locally -->
<AzureADPersistentLogin value="" />
Turns out someone was playing with AzureActiveDirectory in this one instance. Hypothesis - if you have that set up, Epicor helps you out by adding this to the fat client sysconfig and it overrides the <EnforceBrowserFirst value="false" />.
I’m not going to test my theory, no need at this time, so I clearly marked it as hypothetical.
