Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

- Umbrella Chromebook Client

- Cisco Security for Chromebook Client

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Overview

After Google's recent modifications to the Manifest Version 2 Timelines, Cisco Umbrella recommends that all Umbrella Chromebook Client (Legacy DNS Client) and Cisco Security for Chromebook Client (formerly SWG Umbrella Chromebook Client) users activate the "ExtensionManifestV2Availability" policy in your Google Admin Console prior to June 2024. This is a crucial action necessitated by Google's timeline changes. Without this update, your extensions can be disabled by Google after June 2024. By taking this step, you can ensure the continued functionality of your Umbrella Chromebook Client & SWG Umbrella Chromebook Client until June 2025.

To enable this policy:

1. Log into your Google Admin console.

2. Navigate to Devices > Chrome > Settings.

3. Select the parent Organizational Unit where you want to enable the Manifest V2 extension availability policy.

4. In the Users & browser settings tab, use the Filter settings option to locate the policy named Manifest V2 extension availability.
