Enrolling a Samsung device with the Chrome app configured with a different Home URL from google.com

  • 1.  Enrolling a Samsung device with the Chrome app configured with a different Home URL from google.com

    Posted Mon January 20, 2025 05:10 PM

    Has anyone been successful in enrolling a Samsung device AND enabling the Chrome app with a pre-configured home url as part of the enrollment process.  Currently I have been changing the home url in Chrome manually after enrolling the device and it is a pain.

     

    I have clicked the link in the MaaS policy for "generic Chrome settings" But can't find the appropriate verbiage/key/command in the web page that opens with instructions for this.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Mitch 

    Good to hear from you again. 

    I had a look at Chrome settings in Android Enterprise policy, there is a possibility to fill in field and value for this using the page below. 

    https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#HomepageLocation

    You would use field "HomepageLocation" and value "URLtoopen" where URLtooopen is the address you want to launch. 

    Please note just FYI that there is also a possibility to configure Samsung Browser for handling cookies etc. 

    Hope this helps!
