gopass_native_host.exe blocked #157

Open Dian4TI opened 4 years ago

Dian4TI commented 4 years ago

System: Windows 10 pro Browsers: Firefox (ESR), Chrome Description: We've recently installed Wallix BestSafe and it blocks the use of gopass bridge. It reads "gopass_native_host.exe blocked". And then gopassbridge says "Error when communicating with the native messaging host."

Is their anyway to circumvent this issue? This software is new to us but it has no configuration/management options and is installed by insurance imposition.

Thank you!

Hello @Dian4TI,

thanks for describing your problem.

As a small open-source project, there is very little we can do to help you out here, sorry about that.

Maybe could you can talk to your company IT to see if they can allow the gopass_native_host.exe file? If you find a solution, other people might be happy to hear about it 👍

Hello @Pharb ,

Thank you for your answer,

According to my understanding, gopass_native_host.exe is being blocked because it's running out of appdata folder.

Basically, this security software will block anything trying to run from TEMP or APPDATA.

I'm still trying to get gopass_native_host.exe whitelisted but with no luck until now.

As so, one more question, can I make some modification to get gopass_native_host.exe running from a different folder?

Thank you!

Well you could try to move gopass_native_host.exe to a different folder and then modify the manifest file after it was generated by gopass jsonapi configure. But I cannot guarantee that this will work.
