Issue
The cross-client login in the Netwrix Password Secure web app or browser extension does not take place automatically after the login in the Windows application has taken place.
An error message similar to the following appears in the browser console:
Unchecked runtime.lastError: Access to the native messaging host was disabled by the system administrator
Cause
Native messaging is required to ensure communication between the web app or browser extension and the Windows application. If this is deactivated, the cross-client login cannot work.
Solutions
Check whether the NativeMessagingAllowlist and NativeMessagingBlocklist policies are configured. Further information on configuring these policies can be found in this article: Web Extensions Policies.
If the above policies are configured correctly and the problem persists, please check the policy: Allow user-level Native Messaging hosts (installed without admin permissions)
This policy only allows access by applications with system or administrator privileges. Since Netwrix Password Secure runs in the user context without administrator rights, this policy must therefore be set to "Allow".
Further details can be found in this article: Native Messaging User Level Hosts Policy.
