Strategy ONE

Enable System Browser-Based Sign-In for OIDC

Starting in Strategy One (February 2026), you can configure your Android application to use an existing system browser login during OIDC authentication. If the user is already authenticated with the Identity Provider (IdP) in the system provider, the user may not be required to re-enter their credentials.

Prerequisites

  • Android application using Library Mobile SDK.

  • OIDC authentication configured with a supported Identity Provider.

Configuration

  1. Open the MicroStrategyLibraryMobile project in Android Studio.

  2. Go to MicroStrategyLibraryMobile > app > src > main > res > values.

  3. Open the strings.xml file with a text editor.

  4. Add the following string to the file:

    Copy 
    <bool name="oidcReuseSystemBrowserSession">true</bool>

  5. Save the file.

Additional Information

  • This behavior depends on the authentication state maintained by the IdP.

  • When a user logs out of the application:

    • The application's internal login state clears.

    • The user's login state in the system browser may remain active, based on IdP configuration.

  • If the IdP login is still valid, the user may be signed in automatically on the next login attempt.
