Going from IE mode site to a smartcard authenticated site in the same tab
10 Replies
Our company has the same problem. The corporate portal only works in enterprise mode. But other internal resources only work correctly under new browsers.
Attached a screenshot. When opening in Edge with an empty tab, the request occurs. When opening in IE11, the request occurs. If the site is open in enterprise mode in Edge, the request does not occur.
It doesn't work if I enter a link in the address bar, or select from favorites.
Is there a workaround?
The only workaround I can find is to first go to a page that is not in IE Mode and then it works. Not much of a workaround, I know.

Thanks for the answer.
In my case, this is not the solution. The home page for all users is a corporate portal. Bosses will not understand if they need to open a new page to work with the site.

mhousler Hi! Thanks for reaching out! I've connected with the IE Mode team and they've suggested you may need to configure the site as a neutral site. Here is more information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-sitelist#configure-neutral-sites

Hi Kelly, thanks for the response.
Do you mean to put the site that requires the CAC authentication in as a neutral site?
This happens on *any* site that requires CAC authentication when I go from an IE Mode tab so it wouldn't really be practical to try to add them all 🙂
I did test one and while "Neutral" didn't work, it did work if I put the CAC site in IE Mode also. Still not really a solution though as IE mode seems to break other things on the site.
