Chromium doesn't use all flags that I put in the configuration in /etc/chromium/default For example I have to whitelist some kerberized hosts like this: CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--auth-server-whitelist="*domain.com,*domain1.org"" Since a few versions Chromium seems to ommit these parameters. If I add it as parameter when I start Chromium on the command line it works as expected. Reproducible: Always

does that work: CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--auth-server-whitelist=\"*domain.com,*domain1.org\""
Unfortunately that doesn't work, I am still prompted for the password. (In reply to comment #2) > does that work: > CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--auth-server-whitelist=\"*domain.com,*domain1.org\""
Please launch chromium in a terminal using "bash -x", and attach the output. bash -x /usr/bin/chromium I want to ensure we are actually passing your flags through to the chrome binary.

Ok, should be fixed now. + 17 Mar 2013; Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org> files/chromium-launcher-r3.sh: + Don't set nullglob since that makes it difficult to pass wildcards in + CHROMIUM_FLAGS. Bug 461864. If you want to fix it without remerging chromium, just remove the following line from /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-launcher.sh. shopt -s nullglob Ideally, CHROMIUM_FLAGS should be converted to a bash array, but that will break existing configurations.
