Configure list of allowed authentication servers

Computer and userIntune-readyAuthServerAllowlist

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 77, Windows 7 or later

155.0.4283.62

What it does

Specifies which servers to enable for integrated authentication. Integrated authentication is only enabled when Microsoft Edge receives an authentication challenge from a proxy or from a server in this list. Separate multiple server names with commas. Wildcards (*) are allowed. If you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge tries to detect if a server is on the intranet - only then does it respond to IWA requests. If the server is on the internet, IWA requests from it are ignored by Microsoft Edge. Example value: *contoso.com,contoso.com

What it writes

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Registry key: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge

Options

Option	Type	Registry value	Allowed values
Configure list of allowed authentication servers	Text	`AuthServerAllowlist`	Up to 1000000 characters

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: AuthServerAllowlist
