Android Edge (Auto populate account sign-in)

Android - Azure AD Multi App Kiosk Device

Sorry for the bad image quality (policy not allowing screenshots)

 

Trying to configure so Edge auto-populates the account with the current logged in user.

I have tried multiple ways but not able to get this to work. Teams will auto sign-in with out any issues.

Add app configuration policies for managed Android Enterprise devices - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn

 

None of the values will work using JSON or Configuration designer.

First thing is if you use Configuration designer then the option Allow only Intune Accounts will fail with error no matter what you do. This is the same for the rest.

Using the variable {{userprincipalname}} for this settings will not work.

 

Sample JSON of values tested. All will fail.

{
    "kind": "androidenterprise#managedConfiguration",
    "productId": "app:com.microsoft.emmx",
    "managedProperty": [
        {
            "key": "com.microsoft.intune.mam.managedbrowser.PasswordSSO",
            "valueBool": true
        },
        {
            "key": "com.microsoft.intune.mam.managedbrowser.enableKioskMode",
            "valueBool": true
        },
        {
            "key": "com.microsoft.intune.mam.managedbrowser.account.syncDisabled",
            "valueBool": true
        }
    ]
}

Policy checked on the device in edge, results in Error - Unknown Policy

  • I discovered that the key name changed for some reason. Use this updated JSON:

    {

        "kind": "androidenterprise#managedConfiguration",

        "productId": "app:com.microsoft.emmx",

        "managedProperty": [

            {

                "key": "UserUPN",

                "valueString": "{UserPrincipalName}"

            }

        ]

    }

    Same issue as well. It was working fine in previous versions. What Android version are you on?

      I never had it working, I had testing on Android 12 and Android 13.
      It seems to be related to enrolling as shared device with no user assigned.
      If a user is assigned to the device during the enrollment the field populates.

      The wierd part is Teams works fine, it will populate the login for the user with the current session.
      And when i Open Edge, I just need to enter the email, no password etc as it will use the cached credentials, so it is wierd that it's not populating

        Quick update, today It actually look like it's working, will need to go over my settings etc. Not sure of Edge was updated or changes in my config.

        User clicks Edge, Edge states signinig you in, done. Profile connected and SSO etc all working

        Microsoft please implement whatever feature/function you added to Edge 111.0.1661.48 to the stable channel.

         

        The version I mention auto signs in the user into Edge when using Sessions on Azure AD Shared Devices. However Beta program is full so I only have this working on my test device, this feature is crucial for SSO and making Edge main browser on Android tablets.
