The key can be implemented as a policy in a group policy object or added manually in the registry on the client machine where Chrome is installed. Google Chrome on WindowsĬhrome reads a key, AuthNegotiateDelegateAllowlist, which configures Chrome to allow certain sites to allow delegation and use Kerberos. Kerberos should already be configured on the MicroStrategy Library server, MicroStrategy Web server, and the MicroStrategy Intelligence server. The steps for enabling this functionality are different for the certified browsers for MicroStrategy. Integrated Authentication with Kerberos requires that the browser being used to access MicroStrategy Web be configured to retrieve the currently logged in user from the client machine. So if you want to give the new policy setting a try then download Edge Chromium from and get the zip file today.Configure Web Browser for Integrated Authentication Its also not just for Windows 10 users as you can now download Edge Chromium for Mac, Windows 7, 8.0, and 8.1 Now with the inclusion of Group Policy Settings, and the future IE Enterprise Mode it certainly makes it compelling for any corporate to seriously look at making Edge the default corporate browser once it is released. But the new Edge Chromium browser is certainly a great direction for Microsoft. I have been a die hard IE and Edge fan all my life. In the example below I just have SmartScreenEnable set to true. This will be a super handy feature for help desk users and they can easily and quickly see what policy setting are being applied. Microsoft Edge Managementįinally you can then open edge://policy and actually see all the setting that have been applied to the browser (similar to Chrome). ![]() Then if you then click on this option it will take you to edge://management you then get e description of how the browser is being managed. How to tell if Edge Chromium is being managed by Group Policy In my example below it lists the domain name of the Microsoft Account I am signed into on my computer. ![]() ![]() As you can see below it also shows the source of where the policy setting. Once you configure a setting then you will notice that you will get a “Managed by” section appear at the bottom of your Managed tab. Microsoft Edge Chromium IE Enterprise Mode Unlike previous version of IE Enterprise Site Mode list the new version will run IE in Edge like a normal tab. This is the feature that Edge currently use that can dictate if a web site is opened in the new Edge engine or using the old legacy IE render engine. The update feature will be a very important addition as many organisation might not yet be used to the rapid 6 week release schedule of Chromium.Īlso missing are polices to implement IE Enterprise Site Mode list. The ZIP file provided that has been release is only localized for English US and there are no policy settings to manage the update of browser. Especially when compared to the original version of Edge that had servery lacking policy support with only 10 settings. This give his new version of Edge a huge head start when provide policy support. Thankfully most of the Group Policy setting that were previously in Chrome have been preserved. Note: This is not to be confused with the existing Group Policy settings for the original version of Edge that can be found under “Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge” Microsoft Edge Chromium Group Policy Settings Once you have done this open the Group Policy Editor on your computer and you will now see there are new setting under both User and Computer “Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge”. Alternativly you could also copy the files into your Active Directory Central Store, however as these are early templates with limited language support you might want to hold off doing that for now. To use the file simple download and unzip the file and copy the ADMX/ADML files into your local C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions folder. In the post he also releases a ZIP file that has a ADM and ADMX templates that can be used to implement the new policy settings. ![]() Sean Lyndersay from Microsoft has just recently posted about the new policies that are coming with Edge Chromium edition. As it turns out the answer to this question is YES! So when Microsoft replaced Edge with the Chromium browser a lot IT people started to ask if there would be any similar Group Policy support. However the far more popular browser Chrome from Google also has Group Policy support. This rightly or wrongly gave Group Policy administrators a near infinite of ways to configure the browser. Even the recent versions of Edge with Windows 10 still does not hold up to the old versions of IE when it comes to sheer number of supported settings. For all of its issues, Internet Explorer has been the most prolific Group Policy enabled applications ever released.
