Chromium Policy URLBlacklist/Whitelist not working

[jasonchild]

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can answer a quick question. I have recently installed Chromium-18-Lucid.pet and it runs fine. However I am trying to implement policies to work with chromium while running in --kiosk mode.

I have configured the relevant policy as described http://www.chromium.org/administrators/ ... uick-start, and I know the policy is being picked up as when I define the "HomepageLocation" parameter it picks it up just fine.

My problem is that the subsequent URLBlacklist and URLWhitelist parameters are either not being picked up or are being ignored. As when I run the browser and enter any other domain than what has been specified in my whitelist it continues to load regardless of the blacklist rule in place that should prohibit this. The current format of my test_policy.json file (the contents of <My Home Page> relate to a specific host and location:

Code: Select all

{
  "HomepageLocation": "<My Home Page>",
  "URLBlacklist": ["*"],
  "URLWhitelist" : ["<My Home Page>"]
}

Documentation for these parameters would seem to indicate that it should work for chromium v15+ so I don't know what
I've done wrong. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

Cheers,

Jason.
