Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit IBMI-I-1457 Option to set web browser used by ACS to launch Navigator for i.

Web browser settings for Navigator for i in ACS Merged

Add a parameter in ACS to choose which web browser used to launch Navigator for i.
Currently ACS takes the default browser defined on the user station, it should be able to force the browser such as FIREFOX.


Use Case:

In our company the default browser is an old version of internet explorer for compatibility with our software. Navigator for i does not work correctly with this version of IE and we can not change the default browser. So we should be able to tell ACS which browser to use
