NinjaOne Deployment (Windows)

Deploy the Akto Chrome extension on NinjaOne-managed Windows endpoints by setting Chrome force-install policy values.

Prerequisites

• NinjaOne admin access with script and policy permissions

• Windows device policy in NinjaOne

• Akto-provided values:

  • <AKTO_CHROME_EXTENSION_ID>

  • <AKTO_CHROME_UPDATE_XML_URL>

Policy Value Format

Use this exact value:

<AKTO_CHROME_EXTENSION_ID>;<AKTO_CHROME_UPDATE_XML_URL>

Example:

mjcadlphjmoinphffggcpineljpageie;https://akto-chrome-ext.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/akto-chrome-ext/update.xml

Managed Configuration (User & Device Identity)

Before force-installing the extension, you can also set up a separate managed policy that tells it who the user and device are, so the activity it reports to Akto is attributed correctly. See Custom Device Name and Email.

Deployment Steps

1

Create Windows script for Chrome force-install

In NinjaOne Automation Library, create a PowerShell script (Run As: System) named:

Akto Chrome Extension - Force Install

2

Use this script content

Download direct script file:

• akto-chrome-ninjaone-force-install.ps1

Show script

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"

$regPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist"
$extensionValue = "<AKTO_CHROME_EXTENSION_ID>;<AKTO_CHROME_UPDATE_XML_URL>"

if (-not (Test-Path $regPath)) {
    New-Item -Path $regPath -Force | Out-Null
}

New-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "1" -PropertyType String -Value $extensionValue -Force | Out-Null
Write-Host "[Akto] Chrome extension force-install policy set: $extensionValue"

3

Attach script to Windows policy

1. Open target Windows policy

2. Add a Scheduled Script for Akto Chrome Extension - Force Install

3. Run once on pilot devices

4. Add to standard build policy for production devices

4

Validate on endpoint

1. Restart Chrome on a test endpoint

2. Open chrome://policy and confirm policy refresh

3. Open chrome://extensions and confirm Akto extension is installed and managed

Troubleshooting

Extension does not appear

• Confirm value format is exactly id;update_xml_url

• Confirm policy key exists at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist

• Restart Chrome and re-check chrome://policy
