UEM 9.6 IE/Chrome Passwords

Hello all,

Can anyone point me to the settings that would allow IE+Chrome to store form/password data so that every time a site is visited, it will remember the user/password?

Currently set in Profile and Folder Redirection

Redirect

Documents/Downloads/Pictures/Music/Videos

+ Desktop/Favorites/Roaming AppData

Ideally i'm looking for a solution that would store the form/password data while excluding Most of the default user folder in chrome (Cache/Media Cache etc.)  These folders can get massive over time.

For IE i have IE WebCache enabled and i have created a new setting for IE Passwords that follows the recommendation of 'If you have redirected AppData, disable or delete this Flex config file and create a new Flex config file selecting the "Internet Explorer 7-11 - Autocomplete passwords-AppData redirected" Windows Common setting.

For Chrome, i have a generic

IncludeRegistryTrees

HKCU\Software\Google\Chrome

IncludeFolderTrees

LocalAppData\Google\Chrome

ExcludeFolderTrees

LocalAppData\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Application Cache

LocalAppData\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

LocalAppData\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage

LocalAppData\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Media Cache

ExcludeFiles

*.tmp

Hey.

We have the following files that we have in our Chrome setting. I must say that we are using writables for all other information otherwise the Chrome profile will be way to large. Mostly due to cache and addons that are also stored in those folders if not excluded Smiley Happy (but you did exclude them Smiley Happy).

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Web Data

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\History

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Visited Links

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Login Data

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\First Run

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Last Version

<UserProfile>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State

For as far as I now the info is stored in Login Data.

The default IE settings that come with UEM will handle IE for you (Personal Settings and Personal Certificates). For Chrome I used the roaming profile from Google's documentation. Two ADMX settings and I just dump the small file into appdata so my standard folder redirection will keep it.

Ooh that's nice..Just out of curiosity, how large does the Chrome folder end up to be in the appdata\roaming? The biggest issue we are seeing with roaming Chrome info (we don't want to use roaming profile or folder redirection for appdata) is how to keep the info as small as possible. We are now using writables and that's the catch all principle but just trying to see what other options we have..

Mine is 82 KB. Just one profile.pb file. I don't have anyone actually signing in to a Google account. So I'm not sure how that would play into the situation.

Chrome seems to be operating good.  However, IE is not remembering form data/usernames etc to visited sites.  and Edge is not retaining the users "homepage"

Ex.  We have an internal server that requires login.  When opening the fields are blank even after logging in multiple times.  It's keeping the username (as you start typing it)... but in the past it has always auto populated the username and a separate code field.

I have completely disabled roaming App Data in Folder Redirection (originally i had it enabled.. but i don't want all the bloat)

I have the default Windows Settings for

IE WebCache

Internet Explorer

IE Passwords

Microsoft Edge

Personal Certificates

Any clues or ideas?

Thanks.
