Additional Info:
Tested after clearing the cache in IE9, still it does not display the login screen on JON 3.1.2.CR1 build.

I have recently tested JON 3.1.2 with IE9 without problems. If there was a problem with 3.1.2 CR1 build, it has been fixed before the GA.

IE9 should still work in 3.2, so I don't close the BZ to let QE verify on ER2

I saw the same behavior when the coregui was not compiled for IE8/9. Can you please check if the 

rhq-server-4.9.0/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/coregui.war/org.rhq.core.RHQDomain/org.rhq.core.RHQDomain.nocache.js file 

contains this string

"return ua.indexOf('msie') != -1 && $doc_0.documentMode >= 9;"

?

If the string is not there, it means it wasn't compiled for IE (that's what our rhq-master jenkins job by default does to speed things up).

This bug is no more reproducible on JBoss ON 3.2 ER1 build.
IE9 version: 9.0.8112.16421

The file:
jon-server-3.2.0.ER1/modules/org/rhq# vi server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/coregui.war/org.rhq.core.RHQDomain/org.rhq.core.RHQDomain.nocache.js

has below string:
return ua.indexOf('msie') != -1 && $doc_0.documentMode >= 9;

Login screen appears on IE9.

Tested on JBoss ON 3.2 ER2 build.

The file: '/jon-server-3.2.0.ER2/modules/org/rhq/server-startup/main/deployments/rhq.ear/coregui.war/org.rhq.core.RHQDomain/org.rhq.core.RHQDomain.nocache.js' has below line.

return ua.indexOf('msie') != -1 && $doc_0.documentMode >= 9;

However, I observed that on entering JON URL in IE 9 browser( http://<IP>:7080 ) , it displays a screen with EAP6 notification. Please find attached the screenshot for the same. 

If I extend the URL with coregui, the login screen appears successfully.
( Ex: http://<IP>:7080/coregui ) 

Additional info: This issue does not exist on JBoss ON 3.2 ER1 build.

IE 9 version: 9.0.8112.16421

Screenshot_LoginScreen_EAP6-Notification

The EAP6 notification is correct behavior. I've introduced it when working on bug 1000065. It should redirect the user to /coregui once the back-end is up and running (or display an error if start up failed).

Wasn't able to replicate it using the IE 9.0.8112.16421, Win 7 (provided by browserstack.com) on current master (4.10.0-SNAPSHOT (02ed9c403)).

Verified on Version: 3.2.0.ER3 Build Number: c0742ed:cbad264

The redirection issue is no more reproducible on IE9. The JON URL in IE 9 browser( http://<IP>:7080 ) redirects to coregui and login screen appears. The login is successful on IE9.

I was going to file a bug then saw this.  As of ER5 I couldn't get to the login screen (ip:7080 or :7080/coregui) with IE9 w2008 64 or 32 bit.

ok.  if this is reproducible, it is blocking for GA.

QE has an IE9/Charts/Alert Test Day planned for next week with ER6 ...and i am adding this as something for everyone in QE to check so we get more datapoints. 

but

if it is not working in ER5 ... this is flat out blocking.  this a crystal clear PRD requirement BR.002

based on comment #16 ... this has to be resolved prior to GA.  re-opening ...and adding to the JON 3.2 blocker.   this a crystal clear PRD requirement BR.002

Can someone with IE9, Windows2008 SP2 (64 and 32 bit) confirm this?  My windows VMs are running on VirtualBox, OS X 10.8.5.  I could not get 3.1.2.GA, ER3, ER5 to load.

ok ... this is the documented TCMS testcase run from ER5 ...which includes IE9 qualification

https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/96679/

i am going to make this ON_QA .... to hopefully clarify this.

non-blocking for ER6.

ON_QA for retest

I have a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit vm with IE9.

Verified on JON 3.2 ER5. The JON URL in IE 9 browser( http://<IP>:7080 ) redirects to coregui and login screen appears.

Hi,

I have a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit vm with IE 9 . JON Login is working on IE9 for JON3.2 ER5. Double checked the test case and it is working on ER5.

I found out what preventing my IE from loading JON login page. By default IE was in "stealth" mode - disabling access to JS until I whitelisted JON server IP (Internet options -> Security tab -> Local intranet -> Sites -> add

@Stefan had an idea to add a fallback on the html page to detect if javascript is enabled and show some kind of message if it is not.

Good idea, I can do it. "<noscript>" tag should do the work, no rocket science is needed.
