WebADI MiniBrowser risks out of support issues

in Technology Stack - EBS (MOSC) Question

In EBS (12.2.10) WebADI, the macro's in Excel make use of Active X component "Shell.Explorer.2" which essentially creates an IE or IE like session to enable browsing in a VBA Form which appears as a popup to the user. It is mainly used to manage the upload of data but it will also enable authentication, even when authentication is redirected to a third party authentication service.

This has always worked fine but is now risking issues as the third party authentication services might drop IE support at their own discretion. We have one such example and I see for instance React has deliberately dropped IE support in v18 so any provider on this stack upgrading to the latest version will cause the mandatory authentication step to fail in WebADI
