Enable Private/Incognito Window for "--open-browser" flag #131

Closed ganderaj closed 1 year ago

ganderaj commented 1 year ago

Team,

Due to our Organizational standards, we are being forced to copy the URL for Device Activation and open it in an incognito window to activate our session.

Use of flag "--open-browser" is not of great help as the regular browser window does not support OKTA login for our elevated accounts (AWS access). Hence we need to open the URL on a private window which I go through at least 40times a day.

I request concerned to kindly consider it as a feature request to provide support for launching Device Activation URLs on Private/Incognito Window. Or, you may guide me to the file which needs an update to enable this feature and I'll do it on my installation.

Thank you in advance.

Interesting. We are just using the golang browser package https://github.com/pkg/browser to open the browser. I'm on OSX and I can see they are just using the OSX open command w/ one argument - the URL https://github.com/pkg/browser/blob/master/browser_darwin.go

However, I've found you can use open on OSX to launch chrome with the incognito arg: open -na "Google Chrome" --args -incognito https://google.com/ . I'd need to submit a PR to that project, and most likely, it's only google chrome specific.

I'll close this as a duplicate as we'll enable equivalent behavior allowing for a custom open url command as specified in #134
