Use only Internet Explorer for SAP portal

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have a requirement to use only internet explorer for SAP portal.

When we try to use portal in any other browser, it should display a message saying "This browser is not supported for the application" (or any other message). But purpose is, the portal application should be usable in only one browser i.e Internet Explorer.

If any one have any idea on this, how this can be implemented, then please share the same. I tried to find if there are any standard SAP portal parameters, but haven't come across any.

Regards,

Hi Denish,

You can also use the following approach to achieve user use the IE browser
In Login page, add your custom java script to detect the browser type.

if browser is not IE, open a pop-up with message ' Portal Best viewed in IE only & use only IE browser and redirect the user to other page (custom message page)"

if you provide details about your portal version and patch levels, it will more helpful toprovide details about changing the login page or suggesting other way.

thanks,

mahesh.

If you can setup a webdispatcher then you can leverage http_user_agent to block all browsers except the one you want.

Further more, specifics of your system set up may help us in understanding your situation better and perhaps we can offer more help.

One simple option would be to run a JS page on the Server, this page would check the browser agent and display warning..

If the user is running IE< it would validate and redirect the user to the Portal login page..
