There are some issues with the GPO templates for this policy. The policy
templates would be updated soon. You could setup the registry directly in
the windows registry location described in
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#RegisteredProtocolHandlers.
The policy is JSON valued (list of dictionaries). So multiple handlers
could be setup as below

[{"url": "...", "protocol": "..."}, {"url": "...", "protocol": "..."}]

Handlers policy setting not showing up as set on Chrome
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=419755

Hello,

V: Version 38.0.2125.101 m
Using Group policy settings: Yes

I'm getting the following error under status when applying the default
handler for gmail under chrome://policy:

Schema validation error at "items[0].default": The value type doesn't match
the schema type

I copy/pasted the default policy JSON string from the policy list article:
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#RegisteredProtocolHandlers

[{"url": "https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s", "protocol": "mailto", "default": "true"}]

Thanks.

This:

Doesn't work either.

It should be "default": true. Setting "default": "true" would not work.
I'll change the document to include this.

Handlers policy setting not showing up as set on Chrome
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=419755

There are two issues at play here.

1) You should set the registry key in
Software\Policies\Chromium\Recommended\RegisteredProtocolHandlers rather
than Software\Policies\Chromium\RegisteredProtocolHandlers

2) It should be "default": true rather than "default": "true".

The one shown in Handlers.png you made the first mistake. If these two are
fixed, it should work. If you still have problems please share a snapshot.

We still are showing this problem.

We removed the double quotes from TRUE and it states "This Policy Level is
not supported".

How do you set the policy, using GPO or REGEDIT?

GPO

Because of these notes found here
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3:

'Starting with Chromium 28, policies are loaded directly from the Group
Policy API on Windows. Policies manually written to the registry will be
ignored."

And

"Starting with Chromium 35, policies are read directly from the registry if
the workstation is joined to an Active Directory domain; otherwise the
policies are read from GPO."

If it is GPO, there is a fix for
Software\Policies\Chromium\Recommended\RegisteredProtocolHandlers vs
Software\Policies\Chromium\RegisteredProtocolHandlers in GPO. This would be
part of M39 stable release.

>> I cannot add handlers via the address bar at: chrome://settings/handlers
That is correct. User is not expected to be able to do this.

>> nor can I find "RegisteredProtocolHandlers" when I search
That is correct too, the entry should be created by the admin. Please use
GPO tool and import the template to create the entry.

Handlers policy setting not showing up as set on Chrome
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=419755

Very frustrating. The Windows GPO setting works. I can see the setting
appear in the Registry location as documented. However Chrome
[42.0.2311.135 (Official Build) m (32-bit)] does not apply the Registry
setting to the 'local state' file.

As a workaround I have my GPO use the following Powershell script for
our "localexplorer" protocol:
get-childitem "C:\Users" | %{
$path = "C:\Users\" + $_ + "\appdata\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local
State"
if(test-path $path -pathtype leaf){
$content = get-content $path -ea silentlycontinue
if($content){
$found = $null
$content | where {$_.contains("`"localexplorer`"")} | %{$found = $true}
if(!$found){$content | %{$_.replace("`"mailto`":", "`"localexplorer`":
false,`r`n `"mailto`":")} | out-file $p -encoding ascii -force}
