Description
We host our rocket.chat instance behind "Identity aware proxy" on Google Cloud which validates a google login before redirecting to actual website. (https://cloud.google.com/iap)
However because there is an additional login step, mobile apps can not validate the site as a valid rocket.chat instance.
- Would it be possible to disable server validity check?
- Would it possible to open a browser window to show actual page if a validation fails (so that we can login to identity aware proxy)?
Client version:4.10.0
Server version:3.7.0

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing server validation against a Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy setup using the stated client and server versions, then determine whether the desired behavior is bypassing validation or opening a browser for login. Done means the chosen behavior allows the mobile app to connect to an IAP-protected Rocket.Chat server.
