I’m attempting to use the widget and even the javascript auth SDK. I am able to log in correctly, but when I attempt to SSO or need to get the session, it doesn’t seem to have been created in IE11. The session management piece works fine in other browsers (firefox / chrome / safari), but not in IE11.
Any ideas?
Hi Tom,
You would need to enable following settings in IE 11 for this to work…
Enable active script under the Trust site zone -> Customer level-> Script
Enable 3rd party cookies. Internet Options -> Privacy-> Advance Privacy Settings -> Third-party Cookies: “Accept” (Third-party Cookies) to “Always allow session cookies.”
Hope this helps.
Best,
Sohaib
This is still an issue as of okta-auth-js version 2.2.0
If IE11 is supported, should this not work without expecting our users to tinker with their settings?
Is there a plan to fix this in an upcoming release?
For me this turned out to be caused by the app being in one domain, which was trusted in ie11 - and the auth server being in a different domain.
From 2020, PLEASE fix this in a future release, we’re still struggling with it.
I am also having issues with IE11. Based on https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/the-perils-of-using-internet-explorer-as-your-default-browser/ba-p/331732, I wish you would just tell me IE isn’t supported anymore instead of giving me false hope. 
It sounds like @mhein needed to add both their Org’s Custom URL Domain as well as the Okta URL Domain (such as https://{{org}}.okta.com) as Trusted Sites in IE, which addresses @sohaib.ajmal’s first point:
Enable active script under the Trust site zone → Customer level-> Script
Hi Team,
I am using Javascript Sdk for sigin method but getting exception .
Can anyone share the piece of code for IE
IE throw error \exception expected : in below syntax after username
Signin({username,password})
This solved it for me.
Had to add both the client and the SSO server as trusted.
