Policy extension source

[difo]

I'm trying to add an extension from a custom repository on azure blob but the error below pops up every time.

I've also try to force the origin (also any origin) as trusted source. I also tried to add the extension id to the allowlist

To be honest it seems that the policy "extensioninstallsources" is ignored also if it's correctly loaded (see status).

We have a strong need to distribute the extension internally without publishing it in the store.

Have you tried chrome://extensions, set Developer mode to on, Load unpacked?

[difo]

ciao, yes in dev mode it works. It's a topic of whitelist a source that is not possible to do neither adding it using the policy that was designed for that.

I think they use "blocklist" and "allowlist" and got rid of "whitelist" and "blacklist".

Is the error a Chrome error?

[difo]

yes it's a chrome error when I try to add the extension it pop ups this also if the policy is correctly loaded see the picture in the very first comment that the policy is displayed with an OK and yes the policies name are "allowlist" "extensioninstallsources"

Then it is a Chrome bug.

steps to fix this error : step 1: open >>Properties>>Shortcut>>Target step 2: In target section add this line after giving a space -enable-easy-off-store-extension-install for example, my Target of chrome is "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" then give one space and add '-enable-easy-off-store-extension-install' this line

Old target:- "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" Updated target : "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -enable-easy-off-store-extension-install
