Chrome Lockdown - Not allowing Local Sites

Hi,

I have been trying to get the lockdown to work with a site hosted on the computer (Saved on the C Drive as an Index).

I have also created a new partition with the L drive and moved the file over. I am still getting a site blocked error when booting in.

The "No Local Drive Option is not checked". The locations have also been added to allowed sites. There are no issues accessing online sites.


The format is file:///M:/Tablet%203/tablet3/index.html

Thanks!

Please use IIS included with Windows and map the http://LocalHost (or 127.0.0.1) address to your M:\ drive. By default, Secure Lockdown does not allow the use of the file:/// protocol for security reasons. The alternative is to include the file:///M:/  path in the Allowed Sites list.

Hi,

Sorry by local file I just meant that the site has been downloaded and chrome is just loading an Index file.

Even when the path is the allowed site list it is still not loading. Does it need to say file:// on the allowed site list?

Thank you!

Yes, "file://". As suggested, the cleanest way to address this is to use IIS to host your pages.

Is there anything I can do to ensure access to local docs. I am just not 100% sure on how to do the IIS procedure.

Using IIS is quite simple. It's just a matter of adding the Feature in your Windows setup (via Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off). Then use the IIS configuration UI to point the default website to your index file.
