AAD : Access Panel extension doesn't have an "Enable" button

Playing with the Azure Access Panel (myapps.microsoft.com) and needed to install the Access Panel Extension. I was using IE 11 at the time (Yeah - I know :-) ).

Problem was at the end of the install, it says "Click the Enable button" and said button was MIA.

Help file here:  Troubleshooting the Access Panel Extension for Internet Explorer.

I didn't bother with the Diagnostic Tool.

There's a section that describes how to check if the extension is enabled.

In short:

Tools / Internet Options / Programs / Manage add-ons / Select Access Panel Extensions / Click Enable (bottom right).

Close and restart IE.

IE : There is a problem with this website's security certificate

You see this all the time with ADFS especially when setting up new Claims Provider trusts.

ADFS won't accept the metadata if the certificate isn't trusted.

Normally, you just click on the "Security Report" icon in the bar at the top of IE, then "View Certificate", then "Install Certificate".

The "Install Certificate" button won't show if you are not running as Administrator.

But in Server 2012, IE 11, I could not get the button to appear.

Mr. Google to the rescue and it turns out you have to add the site to "Trusted Sites", restart IE and then it magically appears.

ADFS : Metadata XML won’t display in IE

 

A number of people have commented on this problem with ADFS v2.0. It seems to be confined to Internet Explorer (IE).

Basically, the problem is that you want to display a site’s metadata so you browse to the URL (the https://xxxx//FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml one) and see … zip / nada / nothing / blank. WTF!

Two “solutions” that may help:

• Use Firefox
• Toggle the IE compatibility mode.

IE : Fixing the "Do you want to view only the web page content" popup

The most annoying part of Internet Explorer (IE) 8 is the "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?" popup that forces you to continually click "No".

Maybe it's useful when doing Internet banking but I get it every time I open up Blogger. Why wouldn't I want to see the whole page?

The solution is simple:

Tools / Internet Options / Security / Custom level / Miscellaneous / Display mixed content

and change the option from "Prompt" to "Enable".

Reply "Yes" to the "Do you want to change this option?" question and OK out.

Problem solved.

IE : Enter won't submit the form

Wasted hours trying to fix this problem with IE. Firefox works A-OK.

Using JSP and if you have a form with one input field and the Submit button is not labelled Submit, then IE will not submit the form data on Enter. You have to click the "Submit" button to get it to work.

So jumped into Stack Overflow and here's the answer to my question
here.
