Support Request: Issues with Sitekiosk Chrome engine

Description

Hello

We are using Sitekiosk Browser Kiosk function for public facing machines. Previously we used the IE browser engine but since IE has been deprecated we tried moving to the Chrome engine.
We have run into an issue with this. Our solution needs to use a combination of specific software and a browser addin (link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/token-signing/ckjefchnfjhjfedoccjbhjpbncimppeg?hl=en) . The software works well but the add-in does not work. It does not do the necessary callouts (such as asking for PIN)

Is there any chance there is an update coming for updating the browser engine to support add-ins or is there a fix we could apply to make it work in the current Chrome engine?

Best Regards

Hello,

SiteKiosk with Chrome Browser Skin does use a Chromium CEF Engine that does not support Chrome Extensions.
Therefore the “Token signing” Chrome Extension cannot be used in SiteKiosk.

You may check if you can make it work in any way within the Chromium CEF browser by using the test application without SiteKiosk:
Currently, SiteKiosk 9.8.5779 uses the Chromium CEF version 89.0.4389.90 (Windows 32 bit).
Here you will find the corresponding chromium test application for download (unpack 2x and start the file cefclient.exe in the folder "Release"),
https://cef-builds.spotifycdn.com/cef_binary_89.0.15%2Bgdef70e4%2Bchromium-89.0.4389.90_windows32_client.tar.bz2

(If it doesn’t work in the Chromium Test application it cannot work in SiteKiosk)


Otherwise you may check editing this file to add the corresponding JavaScript code (used in the “Token signing” extension):
“C:\Program Files (x86)\SiteKiosk\SiteKioskNG\assets\customScriptExtension.js”
This file is executed in each website displayed in Chrome Browser Skin.

Here an example with manipulating the DOM of a web page displayed in the browser:
