Is this needed? The code below seems to allow the component extensions.

Gone.

[emaxx, 2016/07/26 02:55:31]

Is it confirmed that this app is normally installed and running on the signin
screen?
I may be wrong, but I thought that for gnubby authentication only the component
extension is required, while the app is only for the user sessions (and provides
more functionality like UI for updating the key, etc.).

This and the next one also seem to be the component extensions, which shouldn't
be required to listed here.

[Denis Kuznetsov (DE-MUC), 2016/08/29 15:14:40]

Gone.
But we explicitly block all component extensions on login screen, so we want to
whitelist these ones.

[emaxx, 2016/08/30 13:01:41]

Isn't it possible to allow all component extensions in
SigninScreenPolicyProvider?
Tracking the component extensions in a separate whitelist may be bad when
someone who doesn't know about these login-screen special whitelists adds a new
component extension into Chrome.

Actually, we already need "usbDevices" dictionary permission for the Smart Card
Connector app (id khpfeaanjngmcnplbdlpegiifgpfgdco). It's closely related to the
"usb" permission: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_usb#manifest

Shouldn't EXTERNAL_COMPONENT be also specified here?
According to its documentation, it also corresponds to the component extensions
(in the sense that it also represents an internal piece of Chrome).

BTW, there's a function Manifest::IsComponentLocation.

Not sure, but it probably also makes sense to always allow the case of
COMMAND_LINE. This may be useful for the development purposes.

BTW, there's a function Manifest::IsPolicyLocation. (Though not insisting, as
some may consider explicit enum values to be more readable.)

[emaxx, 2016/07/26 02:55:31]

IMO, the logic would be simpler if you would negate the condition here. Because
currently it's a bit difficult to read this function and understand which cases
lead to "true" and which to "false".

[emaxx, 2016/07/26 02:55:32]

I haven't found operator<< for Manifest::Location. So if this prints its numeric
value, then it's not very good log message.

[emaxx, 2016/07/26 02:55:31]

You may consider passing the array as a reference with a template length
parameter. This would allow to rid of these sentinel nullptrs, and use the STL
algorithm instead of the raw loop.

Shouldn't this be "safe = false", as in other similar cases in this function?

This check would fail for the current versions of our example login screen apps
(Smart Card Connector app khpfeaanjngmcnplbdlpegiifgpfgdco and Charismathics
Smart Card extension haeblkpifdemlfnkogkipmghfcbonief): they also contain the
"persistent" key (which is actually redundant in these cases and doesn't change
any default behavior, but this still shows that the check is too restrictive).
