IE support

[bslipek]

Do Satelizer support IE ? Because i have problem when try to authorize on IE (11,10 or 9), after log-in in provider window the pop-up close and nothing else happend, user is still not log-in.

[bslipek]

probably problem is in $window.opener

[bslipek]

my research say that when pop-up window call window.opener.postMessage() its parent never receive this message.... so ?code= is never pass to parent window.

@bslipek I don't this it supports IE yet (have not tested) possibly due to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16226924/is-cross-origin-postmessage-broken-in-ie10 and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4885765/window-opener-alternatives.

I will see if I can get a workaround for that to have Satellizer working with IE9 and above at the very least.

[bslipek]

very well :) currently i am working on it also, maybe i will help you :)

[bslipek]

Internet Explorer 8+ partially supports cross-document messaging: it currently works with iframes, but not new windows. this is it....

@lynndylanhurley were you able to solve this IE problem by any chance with your module?

[lynndylanhurley]

@sahat, @bslipek - IE9 and below will not support postMessage for the purposes of this project.

For IE8 and IE9, ng-token-auth authenticates using a hard redirect to the OAuth provider. The auth data (token, user id, etc.) are passed back to the client via GET params.

I don't believe there's a solution to this outside of a postMessage polyfill, but please let me know if you come across anything.

[sahat]

After spending most of the day trying to get Satellizer to work with Internet Explorer [:gun:] , I give up. If someone would like to contribute a pull request or offer some kind of workaround I would greatly appreciate it. Until then I am leaving this issue open.

[lynndylanhurley]

There's a section devoted to these problems in the ng-token-auth readme if you're interested: https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/ng-token-auth#ie8-and-ie9

[sahat]

Thank you @lynndylanhurley, I will take a look at it later; there is only so much of IE I can handle in a day.

[wgoolsby]

Any updates on this issue?

[sahat]

Not yet @wgoolsby.

[sahat]

I've made some progress towards IE support. After trying just about every solution available I was about to give up until I read somewhere that Internet Explorer runs in Protected Mode on localhost which explains why window.opener always returns null.

It works fine if I map localhost to something like myhost.com in etc/hosts.

Hi,

so will this work for IE9+ when not on localhost? I am developing my first angular app and I need token auth, so if it works for IE9 I would like to use this one. Thanks

[sahat]

Yea @kamahl19 it should work. I'll update this thread as soon as I have any results.

[sahat]

Great news, I got IE browsers to work. I'll push an update later today.

[oobleck]

Bleeding edge stuff right here. I was about to walk away from this module based on the browser support in README, but am really glad I saw this thread. Nice work guys!

[sahat]

Everyone, take a look at https://satellizer.herokuapp.com. It should work in IE9 and above. Perhaps it will work in IE8 as well, but I will need to downgrade to AngularJS 1.2.x to test that out. I am no longer using postMessage to communicate between main window and popup so technically it should work even in IE8.

I have tested it out in IE9 and IE11 so far and works without any issues. Meanwhile Firefox and Chrome work even better than before: the popup is closed almost immediately so you should not see the main page loading in the popup anymore.

[jshemas]

Hello! Great work so far! Looks like there may be some more problems in IE8 still. One them seems to be a problem with using .catch .

I found a SO post that seems to fix it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23105089/angular-q-catch-method-fails-in-ie8

[sahat]

[sahat]

That was an easy fix at least https://github.com/sahat/satellizer/commit/da7c9bcf26b8e33d35cf84522dde950b14732e32 .

[sahat]

I am going to close this issue now now that Satellizer supports IE in v0.7. If you run into IE-related issues feel free to re-open this issue.

[jgentes]

I'm seeing this with 0.8.7 and IE 11.. the popup window doesn't close during auth. Works fine with Chrome and FF. :(

[sahat]

@jgentes are you running into this issue locally or in production? For local development, you have to disable IE Protected Mode.

[jgentes]

Its running in Heroku, so not a local host. Does it work on your Heroku test box?

I think this is actually an issue in my browser, although I'm not sure what it is yet.

[jgentes]

FYI - as it turns out, I had two different versions of satellizer.

One version was configured in package.json for Node, and the other was in bower.json for Angular. Satellizer in Angular was old, so once I updated it the problem went away. It was confusing because I thought I was up to date when I was looking at my package.json file.

[arterzatij]

may be this is a related issue, some of yours comments looks like my issue. Using localhost on IE.

Hi Sahat,

I am following this conversation and used code that pushed to Github https://github.com/sahat/satellizer/releases/tag/0.7.0

I am having issues with FB app's in-app browser. It doesn't let my facebook login working properly.

Any guess?

Thanks in advance.
