Hi there, were you able to get this configured? We're having the same challenges and I've yet to find the proper way of doing this.

 

Thanks!

Hello Ed,

 

we have stoped investigating this issue, we have written an instruction for our users how to configure the synchronisation in Edge.

 

We are very disapointed about this solution and how microsoft is "improving" simple solutions like the ie favorites.

 

Best regards

    You have to modify the user agent string configuration on on-prem ADFS as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-security-identity#windows-integrated-authentication-wia

     

    To support WIA-based SSO on Microsoft Edge (version 77 and later), you might also have to do some server-side configuration. You will probably have to configure the ADFS property WiaSupportedUserAgents to add support for the new Microsoft Edge user agent string.

     

    After that modification it worked in our environment.

      I don't think this is the same that Moelli and I are looking for. We want, at least in my case, that when our users run MS Edge Chromium, that it automatically logs in to their Azure AD account instead of their DOMAIN\UserName - this allows users to sync favorites. That's basically what I'm after for my users.
