We've set up out Tomcat Manager to use LDAP for authentication - (note,
this is not MS AD, but linux-based LDAP server). The OS our tomcat
servers are running on is Linux and they're not intergrated with our AD
domain in any way at all.

Our users have been happily logging into the Tomcat manager app using
various web browsers for some time - they get prompted for a username
and password, they provide their credentials (which is the same user
name and password as they're currently logged onto windows with, but
with no domain\ or @domain info in the username), they're checked
against LDAP servers, and are let into the app assuming they're
allowed.

However, we've recently received reports that some of our users who
have had their Windows machines copies of Edge upgraded to the latest
version are no longer being prompted for credentials.  Instead, they're
directly immediately to a 401 unauthorised message. Other browsers,
including Chrome, still prompt.

We've changed nothing at the tomcat end, so this is clearly a problem
with the behaviour of Edge - but I'm keep to try and understand it. 

I can't find any useful information in the tomcat logs - is it possible
to turn up the logging for the manager app to see exactly what
credentials (well, username) is being passed by Edge to it?

Thanks
Dave
