Microsoft Edge Mobile - Policies

  • Article

The latest version of Microsoft Edge includes the following policies that you can deploy to configure how Microsoft Edge mobile runs in your organization. You can use the mobile device management (MDM) OS channel on enrolled devices (Managed App Configuration for iOS or Set up managed configurations for Android). Users aren't required to sign in to Microsoft Edge to apply the policies.

Note

The MDM OS channel in Microsoft Intune is a Managed Devices App Configuration Policy (ACP). For more information, see Managed Devices ACP. If you're not using Microsoft Intune, consult your Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) documentation to learn how to deploy these policies through mobile device management.

Note

For Microsoft Edge Browser policy reference, see Microsoft Edge - Policies

Enable NTLMv2 authentication

Supported on:

  • Microsoft Edge (Android) since version 109

Description

Setting the policy to Enabled or leaving it unset turns NTLMv2 on.

Setting the policy to Disabled turns NTLMv2 off.

All recent versions of Samba and Microsoft® Windows® servers support NTLMv2. This should only be turned off for backward compatibility as it reduces the security of authentication.

  • true = Turn NTLMv2 on
  • false = Turn NTLMv2 off

Supported features:

  • Dynamic Policy Refresh : Yes
  • Per Profile : No

Data Type:

Boolean

Android:choice

AuthServerAllowlist

Authentication server allowlist

Supported on:

  • Microsoft Edge (Android) since version 109

Description

Setting the policy specifies which servers should be allowed for integrated authentication. Integrated authentication is only on when Microsoft Edge gets an authentication challenge from a proxy or from a server in this permitted list.

Leaving the policy unset means Microsoft Edge tries to detect if a server is on the intranet. Only then will it respond to IWA requests. If a server is detected as internet, then Microsoft Edge ignores IWA requests from it.

Note: Separate multiple server names with commas. Wildcards, *, are allowed.

Supported features:

  • Dynamic Policy Refresh : Yes

URLAllowlist

Allow access to a list of URLs

Supported on:

  • Microsoft Edge (Android) since version 109
  • Microsoft Edge (iOS and iPadOS) since version 109

Description

Setting the policy provides access to the listed URLs, as exceptions to URLBlocklist. See that policy's description for the format of entries of this list. For example, setting URLBlocklist to * will block all requests, and you can use this policy to allow access to a limited list of URLs. Use it to open exceptions to certain schemes, subdomains of other domains, ports, or specific paths, using the format specified at (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322 ). The most specific filter determines if a URL is blocked or allowed. The URLAllowlist policy takes precedence over URLBlocklist. This policy is limited to 1,000 entries.

This policy also allows enabling the automatic invocation by the browser of external application registered as protocol handlers for the listed protocols like "tel:" or "ssh:".

Leaving the policy unset allows no exceptions to URLBlocklist.

URLBlocklist

Block access to a list of URLs

Supported on:

  • Android System WebView since version 109

  • Microsoft Edge (iOS and iPadOS) since version 109

Description

Setting the policy prevents webpages with prohibited URLs from loading. It provides a list of URL patterns that specify forbidden URLs. Leaving the policy unset means no URLs are prohibited in the browser. Format the URL pattern according to this format (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322 ). Up to 1,000 exceptions can be defined in URLAllowlist.

You can block javascript://* URLs. However, it affects only JavaScript entered in the address bar (or, for example, bookmarklets). In-page JavaScript URLs with dynamically loaded data aren't subject to this policy. For example, if you block example.com/abc, then example.com can still load example.com/abc using XMLHTTPRequest.

Note: Blocking internal edge://* can lead to unexpected errors or may be circumvented in special cases. Instead of blocking certain internal URLs, see if there are more specific policies available.

CertificateTransparencyEnforcementDisabledForUrls

Disable Certificate Transparency enforcement for a list of URLs

Supported on:

  • Microsoft Edge (Android) since version 109

Description

Setting the policy turns off Certificate Transparency disclosure requirements for the hostnames in the specified URLs. While making it harder to detect misissued certificates, hosts can keep using certificates that otherwise wouldn't be trusted (because they weren't properly publicly disclosed).

Leaving the policy unset means that if certificates requiring disclosure through Certificate Transparency aren't disclosed, then Microsoft Edge doesn't trust those certificates.

A URL pattern follows this format (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322 ). However, because the validity of certificates for a given hostname is independent of the scheme, port, or path, Microsoft Edge only considers the hostname portion of the URL. Wildcard hosts aren't supported.

Supported features:

  • Dynamic Policy Refresh : Yes
  • Per Profile : No

CertificateTransparencyEnforcementDisabledForCas

Disable Certificate Transparency enforcement for a list of subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes

Supported on:

  • Microsoft Edge (Android) since version 109

Description

Setting the policy turns off enforcement of Certificate Transparency disclosure requirements for a list of subjectPublicKeyInfo hashes. Enterprise hosts can keep using certificates that otherwise wouldn't be trusted (because they weren't properly publicly disclosed). To turn off enforcement, the hash must meet one of these conditions:

* It's of the server certificate's subjectPublicKeyInfo.

* It's of a subjectPublicKeyInfo that appears in a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate in the certificate chain. That CA certificate is constrained through the X.509v3 nameConstraints extension, one or more directoryName nameConstraints are present in the permittedSubtrees, and the directoryName has an organizationName attribute.

* It's of a subjectPublicKeyInfo that appears in a CA certificate in the certificate chain, the CA certificate has one or more organizationName attributes in the certificate Subject, and the server's certificate has the same number of organizationName attributes, in the same order, and with byte-for-byte identical values.

Specify a subjectPublicKeyInfo hash by linking the hash algorithm name, a slash, and the Base64 encoding of that hash algorithm applied to the DER-encoded subjectPublicKeyInfo of the specified certificate. Base64 encoding format matches that of an SPKI Fingerprint. The only recognized hash algorithm is sha256; others are ignored.

Leaving the policy unset means that if certificates requiring disclosure through Certificate Transparency aren't disclosed, then Google Chrome doesn't trust those certificates.

  • Dynamic Policy Refresh : Yes
  • Per Profile : Yes

ManagedFavorites

Configure Favorites (bookmarks)

Supported on:

  • Microsoft Edge (Android) since version 119
  • Microsoft Edge (iOS and iPadOS) since version 119

Description:

Setting the policy sets up a list of bookmarks where each one is a dictionary with the keys "name" and "url".

These keys hold the bookmark's name and target. Admins can set up a subfolder by defining a bookmark without a "url" key, but with an additional "children" key. This key also has a list of bookmarks, some of which can also be folders. Microsoft Edge amends incomplete URLs as if they were submitted through the address bar. For example, "microsoft.com" becomes https://microsoft.com/.

Users can't change the folders the bookmarks are placed in (though they can hide it from the bookmark bar). The default folder name for managed bookmarks is "Managed bookmarks" but it can be changed by adding a new sub-dictionary to the policy with a single key named "toplevel_name" with the desired folder name as its value. Managed bookmarks are not synced to the user account and extensions can't modify them.

Supported features:

  • Dynamic Policy Refresh : Yes

ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl

Control communication with the Experimentation and Configuration Service

Supported on:

  • Microsoft Edge (Android) since version 121

  • Microsoft Edge (iOS and iPadOS) since version 121

Description

The Experimentation and Configuration Service is used to deploy Experimentation and Configuration payloads to the client.

Experimentation payload consists of a list of early in development features that Microsoft is enabling for testing and feedback.

Configuration payload consists of a list of recommended settings that Microsoft wants to deploy to optimize the user experience.

Configuration payload may also contain a list of actions to take on certain domains for compatibility reasons. For example, the browser may override the User Agent string on a website if that website is broken. Each of these actions is intended to be temporary while Microsoft tries to resolve the issue with the site owner.

If you set this policy to 'FullMode', the full payload is downloaded from the Experimentation and Configuration Service. This includes both the experimentation and configuration payloads.

If you set this policy to 'ConfigurationsOnlyMode', only the configuration payload is downloaded.

If you set this policy to 'RestrictedMode', the communication with the Experimentation and Configuration Service is stopped completely. Microsoft does not recommend this setting.

If you don't configure this policy on a managed device, the behavior on Beta and Stable channels is the same as the 'ConfigurationsOnlyMode'. On Canary and Dev channels the behavior is the same as 'FullMode'.

If you don't configure this policy on an unmanaged device, the behavior is the same as the 'FullMode'.

Policy options mapping:

  • FullMode (2) = Retrieve configurations and experiments

  • ConfigurationsOnlyMode (1) = Retrieve configurations only

  • RestrictedMode (0) = Disable communication with the Experimentation and Configuration Service

Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.

  • Dynamic Policy Refresh : Yes

  • Per Profile : No
