UrlWhiteList Policy Wildcards for Multiple Domains

[Alberto Robledo Cotrina]

Good morning,

 

We are evaluating Google Chrome ADMX files in order to configure Chrome among our company. We are working in a multilingual environment (80.000 potential users)

 

We are really interested in the UrlBlackList and the UrlWhiteList settings. We are thinking about disabling access to all the websites, except google ones and several additional websites. The problem I see here is that there is no way to whitelist, for example, google.* (so all google country domains are whitelisted by using a single entry in the database).

 

Given that the UrlWhiteList field allows only 100 entries, there is no way to enable all google domains (or all country-specific domains for a concrete website) in a single row.

 

I know that there is a tool in the Chrome Store that is able to do that: Whitelist (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pocjkchlmhkjafdpmkklknmjhokobgmh?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon). Is there any option to have the UrlWhiteList policy setting to understand wildcards in that way?

 

Kind Regards,

Alberto.

The UrlWhitelist policy doesn't match URLs by host prefix and can't be used for this case. Please file a bug at http://new.crbug.com with the "Enterprise Issue" template describing your use case for that policy.

In the near future you'll be able to force-install an extension like Whitelist and also configure its whitelist via policies. You can star http://crbug.com/108992 to follow the progress on that.

The only solution that will work today is to create a custom extension with your whitelist hardcoded. See the WebRequest and the Declarative WebRequest APIs if you're feeling adventurous :-) (http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declarativeWebRequest.html)
