Enable automatic cloudflared authentication
When users connect to an Access application through cloudflared, the browser prompts them to allow access by displaying this page:

Automatic cloudflared authentication allows users to skip this login page if they already have an active IdP session.
To enable automatic cloudflared authentication:
- In Zero Trust ↗, go to Access > Applications.
 - Locate your application and select Configure.
 - Go to Advanced settings > Browser rendering settings.
 - Turn on Enable automatic cloudflared authentication.
 - Select Save application.
 
This option will still prompt a browser window in the background, but authentication will now happen automatically.
