Chrome Cookies

Hello - I am new to using the DEM in a Horizon environment.  We are currently using Horizon version 2106, and the DEM version is 2103.  VMs are currently on Windows 10 21H2.  I have been able to capture the Chrome bookmarks for users relatively easily, but so far I have not found a fix for capturing Chrome cookies between sessions.  Users lose usernames on websites and are asked security questions at every login.  I have tried the config settings found here: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Dynamic-Environment-Manager/Google-Chrome/ta-p/2857376.  I have also loaded the "Personal Certificates - AppDate NOT redirected" configuration.  The cookie file is found in the C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Network folder, and I can see that this folder is being saved on the server share zip file.  However, cookies are still not working between sessions.  Any help would be appreciated.  Here is my current config setting:

[IncludeRegistryTrees]

HKCU\Software\Google

 

[IncludeFiles]

<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\First Run

<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State

<AppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\profile.pb

 

[IncludeFolderTrees]

<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

 

[ExcludeFolderTrees]

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

<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Code Cache

<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\GPUCache

<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB

<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\CacheStorage

<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\ScriptCache

For me this works perfectly with the below config file:

 

[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\Software\Google

[IncludeFiles]
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\First Run
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State
<AppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\profile.pb
<AppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Login Data

[IncludeFolderTrees]
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

[ExcludeFolderTrees]
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\old_Cache_000
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Code Cache
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\GPUCache
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\CacheStorage
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\ScriptCache

Thanks for your reply.  I added the couple lines that my configuration was missing, but it is still not capturing usernames on websites.  Do you have those settings under Applications or under Windows Settings?  I appreciate the help.

I have the Google Chrome configuration under Applications.

The URLs/usernames/passwords are saved under <AppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Login Data (see also https://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/look-up-or-back-up-google-chrome-saved-passwords/)

 

You might also want to include the following files:

<AppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Login Data For Account
<AppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Login Data For Account-journal
<AppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Login Data-journal
