ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn not working in Beta 84

Noticed that the ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn is not working in Beta 84 anymore. Before I used Beta 83 where it worked, but after updating to Beta 84 (84.0.522.11) the sign-in does not work as expected:

      simsoo stesch79 Thanks to this info, our team was able to open a bug and start investigating this. If you are comfortable helping with the process, it would be hugely helpful to have more information. Here are the steps to securely collect that data:

       

      1. Create a new folder. e.g. C:\temp\user_data.
      2. Open MSFT Edge Beta with following command prompt: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application\msedge.exe" --user-data-dir=C:\temp\user_data
      3. This should run user through complete FRE experience and try auto sign-in.
      4. Once this completes, snag the logs
        1. Open edge://histograms
        2. Wait 5 seconds for it to load.
        3. Right click -> Save as Webpage, complete (*.htm; *.html)

           

      5. Attach the file through the in-browser feedback tool (Shift+Alt+I) with diagnostics turned on. For more information on how to attach a file, you can see the screenshots in Step 5 of this post

       

      Thanks again for your debugging help, and let us know if you have any questions! Feel free to send me a DM once you've submitted it so that I can tell our team to keep an eye out.

  • stesch79 Thanks for reaching out. I'll pass this along to our Profiles team and let you know if they have any insights to share. In the meantime, can you please give it a try on our Dev and/or Canary channels?

      I'm testing this as well and seeing similar results.  I'm also seeing that this does not work at all on Edge installed on Server 2012 R2.

       

      Windows 10 1809, stable 83.0.478.50, this is working

      Windows 10 1809, dev 85.0.538.0, this is not working

       

      Server 2012 R2, stable 83.0.478.50, this is not working

      Server 2012 R2, dev 85.0.538.0, this is not working

      Deleted  Thanks for looking into this. Much appreciated! With DEV 85.0.531.1 the same happens. No auto-signin.

        stesch79 and simsoo, the team has a few questions for you:

         

        1. Can you confirm how you reached this state? (If you had been signed into an on-prem profile, the browser shouldn't sign you out. Did you manually sign out?)
        2. What happens if you launch using the --user-data-dir flag pointing to an empty directory?
        3. Also, can you please check if the policy shows up at edge://policy?

         

        Thanks, we look forward to hearing back from you.
