          Part 1: Configure Firefox to manage LibKey Nomad


          Step 1: Download and Install the Mozilla Firefox policy template

          1. Download the Latest release policy_templates_*.zip

          5. Once complete, a Firefox folder will appear under (Start > Run: gpmc.msc) Group Policy Management > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates.

          Find a “Download file” link or a “Add to Firefox” link and Copy Link Location.

          3. Click "Ok"

          4. Click "Apply" and then "Ok"

          5. Now proceed to right click and Edit the “Prevent extensions from being disabled or removed."


          Add the latest version of Nomad like before.


          Once complete, both “Extensions to Install” and “Prevent extensions from being disabled or removed” should be Enabled.



          Part 2: Setup your libraryId on the system

          Step 4: Tell Nomad your libraryId so it can be automatically detected

          The procedure for provisioning managed storage is different for different browsers.

          For Firefox, you need to create a JSON manifest file in a specific format, in a specific location.

          Section 1 - Create the JSON manifest file for LibKey Nomad

          First, create the following folder path to store the JSON manifest file for LibKey Nomad:
          C:\Users\Public\Third Iron\LibKey Nomad\
          Next, create the JSON manifest file for LibKey Nomad:
          {
  "name": "{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}",
  "description": "LibKey Nomad",
  "type": "storage",
  "data": {
    "libraryId": "ENTER YOUR LIBRARY ID (e.g. 1234)"
  }
}
          Then, name the JSON manifest file {f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}.json and save it under the new folder path:
          C:\Users\Public\Third Iron\LibKey Nomad\{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}.json


          Note: The JSON manifest file name must be the same value of the name property in the JSON manifest file for LibKey Nomad.

          Note: The file extension MUST be .json

          Section 2 - Create a registry key that points to the manifest’s location

          On Windows, you need to create a registry key that points to the manifest's location. 

          The key should have a single default value, which is the path to the manifest. Run the following command as an administrator from Command Prompt or another method that works best for you:

          reg.exe add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\ManagedStorage\{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Users\Public\Third Iron\LibKey Nomad\{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}.json"



          Note: The LibKey Nomad extension icon will be green once the Library Id has been successfully added. If no Library Id, or a non-existent Library Id is added, the extension icon will be gray. Please validate your Library Id is active before distributing the extension to your network.

          Note: Additionally, a Library Id configured correctly through group policy will suppress the LibKey Nomad initial library selection page on install.
