4.1 slnativehostAppServ.exe Fails to Load When the Microsoft Edge Browser Is Launched

Issue: When Edge is launched, the slnativehostAppServ.exe process fails to start. It prevents SecureLogin to provide single sign-on to the Microsoft Edge browser. This issue occurs randomly. (Bug 1123174)

Workaround: To workaround this issue, perform the following steps:

  1. Start Windows Task Manager.

  2. Click Processes and close the following processes:

    • InhostMessageBridge.exe

    • MicrosoftEdge.exe

  3. Restart Edge.

4.2 Performance Issue In Single Sign-on Assistant

Issue: When using the Single Sign-on Assistant extension in the Microsoft Edge browser, the processing symbol is displayed with the cursor intermittently. This behavior does not cause any issue in the single sign-on functionality. This issue occurs only in web pages that contain multiple events. (Bug 1123362)

Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.

4.3 SecureLogin Displays An Error Message

Issue: SecureLogin displays the Unable to instantiate script broker error message. This issue occurs when a browser is running and SecureLogin is closed. The browser causes the slnativehost.exe process to run in the background even when SecureLogin is closed. The slnativehost.exe process fails to reach SecureLogin and displays this error message. (Bug 1123295)

Workaround: Ensure that you close all the browsers before you close SecureLogin.
