Relevant Configuration Settings
Native Messaging
uberAgent's Chrome extension uses native messaging to communicate with the agent\. In a default configuration of Chrome, native messaging is not restricted\.
If native messaging has been restricted, for example via the NativeMessagingBlocklist Group Policy setting, an exception needs to be defined for the uberAgent extension\. To do so, add uberAgent's native messaging host
com.vastlimits.uainsessionhelper to the NativeMessagingAllowlist Group Policy setting\.
