Configuring Chrome security

Using Google Chrome for browser access (as a Kerberos authenticated LDAP user) to stations requires some client side setup.

NOTE: If you previously configured Internet Explorer to use Kerberos for LDAP access to stations, this may already be done. However, the Chrome startup arguments still need configuration.Also, note that the following instructions are subject to change due to browser updates. Refer to the browsers' documentation for the latest instructions.

Perform the following steps:

Open a Google Chrome window.
Click Customize > Settings or type chrome:settings in the location bar and press Enter.
The Chrome Settings page opens.
Near the bottom of the page, click Show advanced settings..., scroll down to the Network section and click the Change proxy settings... button.
The Internet Options window opens.
Click the Security tab, select the Local intranet zone, click Sites > Advanced.
The Add website to this zone window opens.
Type in the URL for a station and click Add.
http://host1.domain.com

If you have multiple stations to add, continue typing in URLs and clicking Add.
To return to the Security tab, click Close > OK.
With the Local intranet zone selected, click the Custom level... button.
The Security Settings — Local intranet window opens.
To use Kerberos authentication without a prompt, scroll down to the User Authentication section (near the bottom), and click to enable Automatic logon only in Intranet zone.
If you prefer to be prompted, enable Prompt for user name and password.
To close Internet Options, click OK twice.
Close all Chrome windows.
