I think this is technological limitation of Edge Chromium, it doesnt support needed technology (ActiveX).

Thank you for response. We are trying to simplify environment as much as possible but it seems that vision to have only one web browser is not realistic.

  VjekoV I got little more information from MS.
  Indeed - the webpage hasnt gotten any recent updates to make it compatible with Edge. Currently IE engine is present on all supported MS Windows OS'es , and remains there until lifecycle ends. So "easy" solution is to remeber to open certificate enrollment page always with IE. If You need more Enterprise solution - You should investigate Edge IE Enterprise mode ( which allows automatic redirection/opening of listed sites in IE) - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/enterprise-mode-overview-for-ie11

    I do realize this is an old post, but here we are 2021 October and now Windows 11 doesn't include IE at all. Haven't had a chance to try Server 2021 to see if its pki finally fixed this problem? Seems like a MASSIVE miss if it doesn't fix the problem.
