Company Wide Windows Auth with Chrome and Firefox

Question

I know that we can allow Firefox to allow passing through of Windows credentials by editing the following about:config settings

--If using Kerberos--
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris
network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris

--If using NTLM--
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris

and in Chrome by adding a command line switch

-–auth-negotiate-delegate-whitelist="*example.com"

However, these are both difficult to manage in a company wide setting. Does anyone have any good solutions to this problem?

Answer 1

Not sure of your environment setup, but this can be handled with Group Policies. Chrome and Chromium both support the AuthServerWhitelist from GPO.

More information and a template for Chrome GPO's can be found here: http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3
