/#code becomes anchor after redirect

Description

I have a SPA with msal guards on all routes. After successfully login the user gets redirected to the app, but the ‘code’ stays visible on the url.

In the routing root i have:

useHash: false

How can i make sure that '#code=abc...’ gets removed after the redirect? Most example are using hash, so i couldn’t find anything in the samples or docs.

Hi @jasonnutter , I got to test the new version, in fact the url is now clean after the redirect, but only if you have the Guard canActivate. My route for example is canLoad and the problem still exists. Thank you!

This is a known limitation (path routing, redirect uri set to page using MSAL Guard via canLoad) that is not supported at this time. Please use a dedicated redirect URI that either does not use the MSAL Guard or uses canActivate.

We have root caused this issued, and should have a fix in the next version of MSAL Angular v2.
