internet explorer 11 log in failure

~~I just installed windows 8.1 (MSDN RTM) and therefore also explorer 11 but with this latest version I can not log in to my mojoportal site. while I can do log in perfectly with previous versions of Explorer. I tried to change the application pool from integrated to classic but nothing changes. i use mojoportal latest release 2.3.9.8 on dot net 4.0 and SQL server and IIS 7.5 on aruba (italy)

I also tried to change the skin, but it still does not do log in. the site log registry don't report any error log...

 

server error is :

 

~~HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed

The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

such are the dangers of the bleeding edge of technology. 

I don't have Windows 8.1 or IE 11 yet so I have no way to test but I suspect it is because the server browser definitions do not recognize IE 11, probably similar to this problem or this problem. Most likely the problem will be fixed by windows update on the server.

Are you able to login to our demo site with IE 11?

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

I hate to tell you this but I'm afraid the only fix is going to be by installing .NET 4.5, Microsoft is doing stupid things with IE 11, if you google for "ie11 asp.net" you will find lots of people having problems

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

because the demo site is running on .NET 4.5 and has all the latest windows updates. It is not about the IIS version its about the .NET framework. .NET 4.5 is like a service pak for .NET 4 and they fixed this bug in .NET 4.5. I would ask you host if they can install .NET 4.5 on the server.

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

fyi, I just released mojoPortal 2.3.9.9

Note that one change in this release is that we added a generic.browser file as in this article, so that if an unknown new browser is detected it will assume cookies are supported instead of assuming they are not supported.

I have no idea if that will solve the IE 11 problem but you never know it might.

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

hi joe,

I just upgraded to the latest version but unfortunately the error that occurred on 11 explorer has not disappeared and continues to be present.

where is the code where you declare the generic browser? I try to reload it .. although as you think it is not resolved until we NET 4.5 on the server machines aruba.

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

Tried to login today with IE11.
I'm runing IE11 on Win7.

Works as expected.

Thank you Joe.

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

as far as I know the ONLY reason for login failure with IE 11 is that your host has not installed all the windows updates on the server.

updating or adding .browser files to a site requires recompiling from source code so that isn't going to work for an existing site and should not be needed.

If the host installs all the windows updates then the server should have updated browser files at the machine level.

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

it is true, I saw that updating the file generic.browser everything worked properly.
unfortunately aruba is delaying to update their servers.

I'll try to ask again for their intervention NET 4.5 installed on the machines.

thanks joe, great as always

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

Adding the Browser files may not be a good idea. This article explains it:

http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IE10AndIE11AndWindows81AndDoPostBack.aspx

Also, Joe, I am experiencing a problem with the Admin part of Mojoportal with IE 11 (I only have a Win8.1 machine). With Firefox works fine.

Microsoft makes lots of VM's available to test many possible scenarios. Please check this MS Website for downloading the VM's:

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

Update, I removed the App Browsers folder and made sure that IE was not running in compatibility mode and the admin is working now on Win 8.1 / IE11.

Re: internet explorer 11 log in failure

We do not have anything in our App_Browsers folder that breaks any web browsers. I added this fragment:

<browsers>
  <browser refID="GenericDownlevel">
    <capabilities>
      <capability name="cookies" value="true" />
    </capabilities>
  </browser>
</browsers>

which basically says if you see a browser you don't recognize assume it supports cookies. This does not affect known browser versions of IE and does not interfere with browser definitions updated by windows update.

I DO NOT recommend removing or modifying the /App_Browsers folder of mojoPortal, changes there require that the source code must be re-compiled as far as I know.

I am not aware of any problems using mojoPortal and IE 11 as long as the web server has all the windows updates installed. This thread is resolved and closed as far as I'm concerned.

If you think there is any IE 11 bug in mojoPortal, then try to produce the problem on our demo site, if you can produce a problem there, then start a new thread and explain steps to produce the problem, expected result and actual result.
