How to add Edge compat enterprise wildcard

Question

Hi,

Our organization added our application's root url to Edge compat enterprise list so that it can be launched using no frame merge option in IE mode. It works well.

My problem is how to add a subdirectory to the list so that it can also be launched with no frame merge option.

For example, out root url is like this:

https://111.222.ssa.gov/ebb/

It works well. It always opens a new session using IE mode.

Our sub url is like this

https://111.222.ssa.gov/ebb/caseInfoResize.action?caseNumber=aaa&folderNumber=bbb

Our code uses javascript "window.open" and "window.location.href" to go to this sub url.

We added this to the list today:

https://111.222.ssa.gov/ebb/caseInfoResize.action

When a new window (it is in IE mode though) is launched from this sub url, its session is merged with existing session and that's not what we want.

Is there any correct way to add this sub url to the list so that it can be launched in its own session like our root url?

Thanks,

Ligong

Hi @Zhu, Ligong,

This behavior is actually by design. The sub url belongs to the root url. In other words, the sub url and the root url share the same process, so whether you open the sub url under the same IE mode tab or a new tab, sub url will share a session with the root url. For more information and explanations about "no—merge" feature in IE mode, you can refer to this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-faq#does-ie-mode-on-microsoft-edge-support-the-no-merge-option-that-was-supported-in-internet-explorer-11.

Surely, you can press "Alt+Shift+I" in Edge to submit feedback.
