SUBJECT:

Using Microsoft Edge with WebFPPS

This memorandum is intended to notify customers that desktop computers must be configured with specific Group Policy Object (GPO) settings to support Microsoft Edge compatibility with WebFPPS.

Please distribute to intra-agency information technology support staff, as these settings require administrative privileges.

To enable Microsoft Edge compatibility with WebFPPS, please configure the following GPOs specific to the domains listed:

• For webfpps.ibc.doi.gov, set the following:

1. Open in IE 11
2. Allow Redirect
3. Set Compat Mode to IE8 Enterprise Mode

• For webfpps.ibc.doi.gov:8443, set the following:

1. Open in IE 11
2. Allow Redirect
3. Set Compat Mode to IE8 Enterprise Mode

These GPOs are necessary to ensure continued WebFPPS application functionality when Internet Explorer 11 goes out of support.

An example of Microsoft Edge policy settings is shown below.
