Policy support for headless chrome [Linux]

[Abhijith Sethuraj]

Hi,

Chrome (without the headless mode) takes all the policies (/etc/opt/chrome/) that I have defined but for some reason, headless chrome doesn't take it. Is there a way to make this work?

If the answer is no for the above question, is there a way to enable Authentication (Kerberos/NTLM) in headless chrome?

Thanks,

Abhijith

Hi Abhijith,

We decided against implementing policy support due to the technical complexity.

Kerberos/NTLM authentication isn't supported at the moment. Can you describe a little more how you would need it in your use case?

Hi Sami,

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but this is exactly what we're looking for at the moment. The use case is as follows:

We are running a CI server (Jenkins on Debian), which is responsible for testing an Angular application. Protractor starts and navigates in Chrome Headless using chromedriver.

The application's backend is running on IIS and authenticates users via the corporate AD over Kerberos.

We would like to login non-interactively (kinit with keytab file) at the beginning of a test run, and have chrome use these credentials when Angular makes calls to the backend.

Does this use case make sense to you?

Thanks
Jean-Christophe

Hi Jean-Christophe,

Thanks for the information. I suggest checking whether logging in via network request interception works for your use case (sorry, we're still missing good documentation for it). If not, please file a new bug.
