Summary
When trying to use an existing Laserfiche Connector profile or when trying to configure a new Laserfiche Connector profile with Chrome or Edge 136 or higher, users may see an error stating:
Chrome is not configured correctly. Follow these instructions to configure Chrome.
New Microsoft Edge is not configured correctly. Follow these instructions to configure new Microsoft Edge.
Cause
Chrome and Edge 136 and higher now require the use of an additional switch, --user-data-dir, to be used in conjunction with --remote-debugging-port. See this post for additional details.
Resolution
Modify the Chrome shortcut target and after
--remote-debugging-port=9222 --remote-allow-origins=localhost
append the --user-data-dir switch. It should now resemble
--remote-debugging-port=9222 --remote-allow-origins=localhost --user-data-dir=C:\MyCustomPath
Modify the Edge shortcut target and after
--remote-debugging-port=9322 --remote-allow-origins=localhost
append the --user-data-dir switch. It should now resemble
--remote-debugging-port=9322 --remote-allow-origins=localhost --user-data-dir=C:\MyCustomPath
Close and reopen Chrome or Edge and Laserfiche Connector after making and saving the change.
The user data directory contains profile data such as history, bookmarks, cookies, etc. Specifying a custom path with the --user-data-dir flag will override the default location of the user data directory and create a new profile, meaning the launched instance of Chrome or Edge will not have any of the settings previously configured for the default profile. Depending on your preferences, you may want to transfer settings over to the custom profile or have two different browser shortcuts, one for use with Laserfiche Connector and another for other web browsing needs.
