CEF-based sign-in does not work with Azure AD conditional access

Problem: CEF-based sign-in does not work with Azure Active Directory conditional access

Reason: Azure doesn't allow connection requests missing machine ID to go through. The Chrome browser or CEF does not include machine ID in connection requests.

Solution

Quit Acrobat and try the following workarounds in the order they appear.

Workaround 1: Set the default system browser to be used as the login engine (external browser sign-in)

  1. Open the Run command window by pressing the Windows + R keys. Enter regedit in the Open field, and then select OK.

  2. In the Registry Editor, go to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown

    If FeatureLockDown is not already present there, create it as a new key.

  3. Inside FeatureLockDown, create a new DWORD and rename it as iAcroLoginType.

  4. Assign the value 5 to the key iAcroLoginType.

  5. Close the Registry Editor, and launch Acrobat.

Workaround 2: Use the old HTTP calls engine using a registry key

  1. Open the Run command window by pressing the Windows + R keys. Enter regedit in the Open field, and then select OK.

  2. In the Registry Editor, go to the following location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown

    If FeatureLockDown isn't already present, create the key.

  3. Inside FeatureLockDown, create a new DWORD and rename it to iNGLCEFWorkflowEnabled.

  4. Assign the value 0 to the key iNGLCEFWorkflowEnabled.

  5. Close the registry editor, and launch Acrobat.

Workaround 3: Use the old HTTP calls engine by creating the EnableIEBrowserWF.CONFIG file

  1. Quit all the Adobe applications if any running on your computer.

  2. Navigate to the folder C:\ProgramData\Adobe\OperatingConfigs

    If the OperatingConfigs isn't already present, create a new folder with the same name.

  3. In the OperatingConfigs folder, create an empty file with the name EnableIEBrowserWF.CONFIG.

  4. Exit the folder and launch Acrobat.
