Hey, we’ve configured Chrome via app configuration with a URL blocklist (BlocklistURL), along with settings like homepage, home button, and default search engine.
We’re seeing a strange issue — any website that requires a sign-in pop-up (authentication prompt) is getting blocked when the blocklist is configured.
A couple of things we noticed:
-
If we remove the blocklist → sign-in pop-ups work fine
-
If we just remove specific URLs from the blocklist → those sites load, but the sign-in pop-up is still blocked
-
The pop-up only starts working again if we completely delete the app configuration and reapply it
Also, this setup works fine in other MDMs..the issue seems to happen only with Hexnode.
Is this expected behavior or are we missing something?
