SEC7117 Error when trying to load a javascript file in MS Edge
I'm getting this error when trying to load a javascript file from another server when using microsoft edge. I have a feeling it's related to the server being http instead of https, but I'm not sure. It works in IE (after allowing unsecured content), but I can't find an option in Edge to allow unsecured content.
This is the error I'm receiving:
SEC7117: Network request to http://servername/whatever.js did not succeed. This Internet Explorer instance does not have the following capabilities: privateNetworkClientServer
Thanks in advance for your help!
Answer
It may have something to do with mixing the Internet/Intranet Zones rather than the http/https.
See here: Understanding Enhanced Protected Mode
Private Network resources
Because EPM does not declare the privateNetworkClientServer capability, your Intranet resources are protected from many types of cross-zone attacks (usually called “Cross-Site-Request-Forgery (CSRF)” and “Intranet Port Scanning.”) Internet pages are not able to frame Intranet pages, load images or resources from them, send them CORS XHR requests, etc.
I know that this is an old post, but the info still seems to be relevant since Microsoft MSDN site still references it with regards to IE11 (e.g. here: Enhanced Protected Mode on desktop IE). I also know that IE11 is not Edge, but this info might apply to metro-style apps as well.
[UPDATE]
In my setup Edge failed to load my page in an iframe. When I tried loading the page in a separate Edge tab, it loaded just fine.
It turns out Edge fails to load a private/local secured SSL page (iframe) when in-conjunction of loading a public secured page. Both sites are secured using public SSL certificates to prevent mixed content issues. The issue is that Edge security detects that the iframe site is located on the users local network (private/domain network) and prevents the page from loading in an iframe. Edge reports the following security errors in developer console:
SEC7117: Network request to https://my.company.com/default.html did not succeed. This Internet Explorer instance does not have the following capabilities: privateNetworkClientServer
SEC7111: HTTPS security is compromised by ms-appx-web://microsoft.microsoftedge/assets/errorpages/dnserror.html
To resolve the issue we moved the internal site to a non-local address space (a private network space using a different subnet from the local network) so that Edge detects the site as public network. Alternatively you could move the resources to a true public address.
