Untrusted certificates in Edge for iOS and Android

Hello,

Certficates deployed from Intune for iOS especially are not seen as trusted on Edge app even the trusted root certificate has been deployed as well.

 

I want to ask you how Edge is handling the certificates deployed from Intune on a iOS device and Android? Is any related documentation regarding Edge certificates for iOS and Android and best practices on how to push them via config profiles?

  • Hi dsmodus Would you mind sending a screenshot of the symptoms you saw? Is it like the page is not secure?

     

    Certificated based authentication(CBA) is not supported for Edge iOS due to the lack of the Apple’s API to allow 3rd party browser to access to the system keychain. The certificate in CBA is  users certificate, which is used to do the authentication. However, the certificate in your scenario is issued for a website. Not used for user authentication.

     

    If you could provide a screenshot, that would be very helpful.

      hi Charlie_Lin 

       

      Note side on IOS, we want to use the user pkcs certificate (deployed via Intune) to authenticate it on a local website in the browser edge.
      During our various tests, the website closes the connection, unauthenticated user. As you mentioned, the certificate is probably not accessible from Edge (screenshot in attachement).
      Is there a solution? Maybe use the "PKCS imported certificate" strategy?

      This same process works very well or on Android.

    dsmodus- Were you able to solve this? I have a similar problem.
    We've deployed the trusted root certificate to iOS/iPAD devices and it works in Safari, but not in Edge. In Edge sites are marked as untrusted.

     

    Kelly_Y - I can't find the note you're refering to.

      No. We still have the same issue in Edge as you described.
