VMware Horizon Non-Persistent Google Chrome DEM help

bcordis

I'm needing to know what to capture on a non-persistent Google Chrome 1password X extension to keep its Login info.

1Password Version: N/A
Extension Version: 1.19.1
OS Version: Windows 10 1909
Sync Type: 1password.com

Hi @bcordis

My apologies; I'm not entirely clear on what the difficulty you're having. Could you please elaborate? It sounds like perhaps you are using this extension with ChromeOS, on a Chromebook?

VMware Horizon Client for Chrome - Chrome Web Store

Is that correct? Where does 1Password come in? I'm not sure what you mean by "non-persistent Google Chrome 1password X extension." Please let me know.

With VMware google chrome we only store and capture something from google chrome. so using https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Dynamic-Environment-Manager/index.html DEM we can set what local App folders we will capture and restore on next login so we keep the times down.

Like \Google\Chrome\User Data[MATCHALL]\extintion\1passwrod

Something like that that will capture what you need to recall?

@bcordis:

Thank you for the clarification. I am still not entirely clear what you are trying to ask. What is the issue that you are having with 1Password exactly? Can you give us a specific example?

bcordis

Every time we start up a new system witn UEM/DEM enabled we need to captrestor the cache that 1Password stores for it extension. Right now i'm trying to locate what folder it stores it's info into so i can point my VMware UEM/DEM FlexEngen to capture.

@bcordis:

Thank you for the additional information. I have asked internally for help with this to see if someone can give you some suggestions. I don't know what "captrestor" or "flexengen" mean because I don't think these are 1Password features, so I hope someone with more experience in this can help :+1:

@bcordis:

I have received an update from a colleague about this. This was tested on Linux but the instructions should work on Windows too. It seems like Chrome stores:

• settings (e.g. auto lock settings, language, etc) in \Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage
• cached data in
  \Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB\chrome-extension_aeblfdkhhhdcdjpifhhbdiojplfjncoa_0.indexeddb.leveldb

So if you configure your software to save and later restore those paths, things should work as you expect. Please give this a try and let us know if it worked.

The extension itself is stored in \Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\aeblfdkhhhdcdjpifhhbdiojplfjncoa, but restoring those files won't be enough as Chrome maintains a list of installed extensions elsewhere so it won't see 1Password X. So perhaps just restoring the whole Chrome folder at \Google\Chrome\User Data\Default would also work.

Thank you for your info and I have adjusted my DEM/UEM capture all of the \Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB and its sub-items. Now all work and keeps the capture image size small as I can. I do capture the extensions folder so I was just missing the IndexedDB.

Thank you for the update @bcordis :) I am glad to hear this :)
