I added the preference ExtensionInstallSources (as per: http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#ExtensionInstallSources ), it still is not allowing me to install my "app.crx" from my URL. I added it as follows:
File: /home/myuser/.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences
"extensions": {
"ExtensionInstallSources": [ "http://myurl.com/*" ],
...elided...
Yet, when I go to the url http://myurl.com/myapp/app.crx it tells me it cannot install from that url. How do I fix this?
MORE INFO:
It appears that Preferences file is not the correct one to edit. I downloaded an example on from here: http://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chrome/policy/policy_templates.zip as specified here: http://support.google.com/chrome/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=187945
That provides a "chrome.json" file but does not specify where to install this. I tried installing it in the .config/chrome/Default folder but that doesn't work.
My chrome.js file is:
// Policy template for Linux.
// Uncomment the policies you wish to activate and change their values to
// something useful for your case. The provided values are for reference only
// and do not provide meaningful defaults!
{
"ExtensionInstallSources": ["http://myurl.lamp/*"]
}
It still does not work!
2ND UPDATE:
I put the setting in /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/test_policy.json as specified here: http://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start and it still does not work!
3RD UPDATE:
I checked chrome://policy and it shows the permission is there! It still won't let me install crx's from the URL though! It shows the value for ExtensionInstallSources is:
http://myurl.lamp/*,http://localhost/*,http://192.168.1.109/*,*://myurl.lamp/*,file:///*
But none of those work!
