Last updated: Aug 07, 2025

Step 1

Procedure

1

From Secure Access, navigate to Connect > End User Connectivity.
2

On the End User Connectivity page, click the Internet Security tab.

3

In the Deployment options section, click the ChromeOS tab.

4

In the Chromebook Configuration section, click Configure.

5

In the Configure Chromebooks window, follow the onscreen instructions.

  1. Define a salt value.
    • A salt is a piece of random data that is added to a password before the password is hashed and stored. Salting prevents hackers who breach an enterprise environment from reverse-engineering passwords and stealing them from the database.

    •  
      Copy and save the salt value. You will need it when you deploy the Cisco Security for Chromebook client in the Google Admin console.
    • Result: After you define the salt value, two DoH templates are created:
      • The default DoH template, which is used for all managed Chromebooks.
      • The managed session DoH template, which is used only for managed guest-session devices.
      • Important: Copy and save the URLs for the DoH templates. You will need them when you deploy the Cisco Security for Chromebook client in the Google Admin console.
  2. Download the Chromebook configuration file.
  3. Enable SWG protection.
  4. Recommended: Sync Google Workspace identities with Secure Access. You need superadmin-level access to Google Workspace.
