CentOS - Apr 2017 - OT: Controlling Chrome via policy

Hi all,

 I have installed Google Chrome in two CentOS7 workstations. I would like to
setup some extensions by default and install automatically. Reading
Chrome/Chromium docs, it is possible to accomplish this using master_preferences
or via policy. According to Chromium's docs, policy files needs to be
installed under /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/ (for Chrome) or
/etc/chromium/policies/managed/ (for Chromium). I have tried to create a JSON
file (custom.json) with my options, but no go. What am I doing wrong?

 On the other side, according to Chromium's docs, master_preferences needs
to be placed under dir where chrome binary is. Tried and no go.

 Any light on this?

Thanks.

For the record, problem is solved. Problem was how I have defined
"HomepageLocation" option. It was wrong.

Thanks
