Using Edge Chromium ver. 88.0.705.68 when trying to download a filename.jlnp file from a server inside our organization we are prompted with the following message. Is there a way to stop this message from coming up and downloading the automatically?

    @Kevin Middleton
    This makes no difference it works with Dell iDRAC 8 but not with Dell iDRAC 9
    1 = {"domains": ["ourdomain.de"], "file_extension": "jnlp"}
    1 = {"file_extension": "jnlp", "domains": ["ourdomain.de"]}

    i also discuss it in the techcommunity: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/enterprise/smartscreen-turned-off-gt-java-webstart-jnlp-files-are-marked-as/m-p/2568776#M3599

    It´s a strange behaviour. If it only checks for Fileendings it should work with iDRAC 8 and 9...

    @pede83 , I was able to solve this in Edge Chromium v91 by locally testing the syntax via registry edits live within the Policies subkey. Much faster than using GPMC to test, especially when AGPM is in play. It looks to me as though Microsoft's recommended syntax on the web and in documentation is either hyper-sensitive, or simply not documented thoroughly enough.

    I took out the outer braces referenced on learn.microsoft.com as there is only one setting we want for now, and we also put file_extension first in line with their documentation.

    How does this work? If it does, how many documents does Microsoft need to clarify or update (or how many more examples should be shown)?

    { "file_extension": "jnlp", "domains": ["ourdomain.org"] }

    Dell Support only tests with Basic Edge Settings and could reproduce the error, they sent us Links to this Site and to the Documentation and asked to contact MS Support.

    The pingpong may begin ^^

    @Deepak-MSFT any ideas?
