Configure whether Microsoft Edge should automatically select a certificate when there are multiple certificate matches for a site configured with "AutoSelectCertificateForUrls" (deprecated)

DEPRECATED: This policy is deprecated. It is currently supported but will become obsolete in a future release.

Supported versions

  • On Windows and macOS since 81 or later

Description

This policy is deprecated because we are moving to a new policy. It won't work in Microsoft Edge version 104. The new policy to use is PromptOnMultipleMatchingCertificates.

Toggles whether users are prompted to select a certificate if there are multiple certificates available and a site is configured with AutoSelectCertificateForUrls. If you don't configure AutoSelectCertificateForUrls for a site, the user will always be prompted to select a certificate.

If you set this policy to True, Microsoft Edge will prompt a user to select a certificate for sites on the list defined in AutoSelectCertificateForUrls if and only if there is more than one certificate.

If you set this policy to False or don't configure it, Microsoft Edge will automatically select a certificate even if there are multiple matches for a certificate. The user will not be prompted to select a certificate for sites on the list defined in AutoSelectCertificateForUrls.
