CEF Forum

Hello,

I'm looking at a feature request from a couple of years ago where chrome extension support was being coded in. I don't see much that says what became of that. Is it in place now?

Related to that, there is a Microsoft Chrome extension named 'Windows 10 Accounts'. Below is the description.

"Use this extension to sign in to supported websites with accounts on Windows 10. If you have a Microsoft supported identity on Windows 10, you won’t be required to enter your credentials to sign in to supported websites. You’ll need to use this extension if your organization has implemented conditional access policy. Currently, this extension supports Azure Active Directory identities."

We are using a cef app to access internal web sites. A new MS security policy says that you need to be signed in to your corporate account on your browser to access them. Right now our cef app is broken because of this policy. I'm thinking if the above extension could be used in our cef app, that it may fix the problem. Would anyone have any idea if this would work? Or maybe something else might work that I'm not aware of?

Thanks,
Kevin

Extrension support is available with the Chrome runtime. I don’t know if the MS extension will solve your problem.

CEF does now support a subset of the extension APIs but not everything. You can try loading extensions in the CEFClient sample by adding a command line switch like this:

Code: Select all

c:\cef-folder\cefclient --load-extension=c:\test-extension

You can get the extension from Google Chrome's extensions folder in users > (yourname) > AppData > local > ... > (hash string for extension) after installing it in Chrome.

For the few extensions we've looked at, they have used some APIs that CEF doesn't currently support and would need to be re-written to avoid that. Running the extension in a debug build then looking at the console and debug log files might show you what APIs are causing errors.

Thanks all. This was helpful in at least determining that it doesn't work.
