Symptoms

After you apply security update 3065822 or a later cumulative update for Internet Explorer 11, the cross-site-scripting (XSS) filter may prevent submission of token content that's required in order to perform Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) authentication. For example, users may report the display of a hash ("#") symbol on the webpage when they try to access Office 365.
