Installing and Configuring the Browser Extension for Microsoft Edge on Windows (SSO)

Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome allow the silent installation of Browser Extensions. This way, the users do not have to manually install the Browser Extension themselves, but rather the IT Admins can roll out the Browser Extension in the background via a MDM solution, such as Microsoft InTune, Enteo NetInstall, or Matrix42 Empirum.

Each browser needs to be set up separately.

Browser Extensions in Edge can be installed and configured through Enterprise Policies. Refer to the official documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensions-policies for more info.

Requirements

• Userlane Customer Success Manager needs to provide companyID and information on region
• IT Admin with access to Browser Installation and Policies
• Userlane Account Admin to set Integrity Token in Userlane Portal

Steps to Complete the Setup

1. Installation and Configuration
2. Verification

1. Installation and Configuration

ExtensionInstallForceList browser policy

Add the Userlane Extension (ID for Edge: joephgegnilhnnnocnkigpmmamgghage)
to the ExtensionInstallForceList: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#extensioninstallforcelist to install the Userlane Extension from the Edge Add-ons.

Example registry file

Note: The Registry Key might need to be modified if multiple Browser Extensions (other than Userlane) are installed to Edge.

Browser Policy Configuration

Registry keys in the 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\joephgegnilhnnnocnkigpmmamgghage\policy

All keys should have type REG_SZ. 

Please note that you need to get the correct companyID and region from your Customer Success Manager!
