Question

Redirection from one application in IE that does single sign on and redirects to another application in Edge

Hi,

We have clients whose users use IE to single sign on to our application. How to make those users redirected to Edge to access our application in Edge after they SSO in IE in their application?

Thanks,
Ashok

Hi @Anonymous , I'm not sure if what you mentioned is the need to share cookies between Microsoft Edge and IE. If this is the case, this is not possible because session cookies can only be shared from Microsoft Edge(while using IE mode) to Internet Explorer. For more details, you could refer to this document: edge-ie-mode-add-guidance-cookieshare-Overview. But if I misunderstood anything, could you describe your problem in more detail?

My question is slightly different. Is there a way to redirect a user from IE (its IE browser, not IE mode on Edge) to Edge and also pass the cookies while redirecting the user.

Basically, if the user was already logged in in IE browser, the user should continue to stay logged in automatically even after being redirected to Edge.

Hi @Anonymous , When a user goes to a site that is incompatible with Internet Explorer, and if this site is listed in the list of all sites that are known to be incompatible with Internet Explorer maintained by Microsoft, they will be automatically redirected to Microsoft Edge. And on redirection to Microsoft Edge, users are shown the one-time dialog in the next page, it will ask the user whether to import the following browsing data: Favorites, Passwords, Search engines, open tabs, History, settings, cookies, and the Home Page. If this is the case, I think this is feasible. For more details, you could also refer to this document: Redirection from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge for compatibility with modern web sites.
