POST request is inadvertently converted into a GET request when transition from Edge to IE Mode
Our web application depends on ActiveX control, requiring it to operate in Edge IE mode. Additionally, we use Okta SSO for authentication. While monitoring network traffic with Fiddler, I observed the following during the authentication process:
1. Authentication with Okta: The initial POST response from Okta IDP correctly includes the expected SAMLResponse, indicating successful authentication from Okta’s side.
2. Transition from Edge to IE Mode: After the authentication, as the application transitions from Edge mode to IE mode, a problem occurs. The Okta POST request is inadvertently converted into a GET request during this transition. Consequently, the SAMLResponse is not transmitted in the GET request, breaking the authentication flow.
We attempted to mitigate this issue by configuring the authentication server as “neutral” in the Enterprise Mode Site List (EMIE) . Unfortunately, this did not resolve the problem.
To proceed, we need to retrieve the SAMLResponse and complete the authentication flow. Any guidance or suggestions on how to address this issue would be highly appreciated. If more details are needed, please let me know.
We are currently using Edge version 125.0.2535.92 on Windows 11.
