HttpsOnlyMode

Allow HTTPS-Only Mode to be enabled

Supported on:

  • Chrome (Windows) since version 94

Description:

This policy controls whether users can enable HTTPS-Only Mode (Always Use Secure Connections) in Settings. HTTPS-Only Mode upgrades all navigations to HTTPS.

If this setting is not set or set to "allowed", users will be allowed to enable HTTPS-Only Mode.

If this setting is set to "disallowed", HTTPS-Only Mode will be disabled.

If this setting is set to "force_enabled", HTTPS-Only Mode will be enabled in Strict mode.

If this setting is set to "force_balanced_enabled", HTTPS-Only Mode will be enabled in Balanced mode.

"force_enabled" is supported, "force_balanced_enabled" is supported.

"force_enabled" and "force_balanced_enabled" can be recommended to users too.
HTTPS-Only Mode will be set Strict or Balanced initially but users are allowed to
change it.

If you set this policy to a value that is not supported by the version of Samsung Browser that receives the policy, Samsung Browser will default to the allowed setting.

The separate HttpAllowlist policy
can be used to exempt specific hostnames or hostname patterns from being
upgraded to HTTPS by this feature.

"allowed" = Do not restrict users' HTTPS-Only Mode setting
"disallowed" = Disable HTTPS-Only Mode
"force_enabled" = Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in Strict mode
"force_balanced_enabled" = Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in Balanced Mode
