Automating Network Extension Authorization in MDM-Managed Devices
In pursuit of a seamless network extension deployment process, I seek to eliminate the need for end-users to manually approve or disapprove the execution of a network extension.
Currently, I have successfully set up the network extension alongside the corresponding application within my infrastructure.
To accomplish this, I am leveraging Intune for both profile deployment and app installation. The installation procedure proceeds without issues, and I have deployed configuration profiles to grant the application full disk access, as well as whitelist the network extension. Despite these configurations, however, an alert continues to prompt users, asking for permission to run the extension.
My query centers on whether there exists a method, through profile configurations or otherwise, to facilitate the automatic authorization of the network extension's execution without requiring user intervention.
Here is the current configuration in Intune for allowing the extension to run.
Having this configured will prevent this screen from appearing:
And only this will appear:
My target is to automatically allow to my extension to run without asking user consent.
Your insights and expertise in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
