Configuring Chrome Local Network Access (LNA) for NetDocuments

Overview

Starting with Chrome 142 and Edge 143, browsers require explicit permission for websites to communicate with local applications through Local Network Access (LNA). This affects NetDocuments desktop integrations, specifically:

• ndOffice – Opens documents directly in Microsoft Office applications
• ndClick – Handles document downloads and local file operations

Without proper LNA configuration, users will experience prompts or failures when trying to use these NetDocuments features.

NetDocuments URL Patterns

You’ll need to add both of these URL patterns to cover all NetDocuments deployments:

Deployment Region
URL Pattern

US Deployments
https://[*.]netvoyage.com

International Deployments
https://[*.]netdocuments.com

Recommendation: Always configure both domains to support cross-region workspaces.

Registry Key to Add

For environments without centralized management, you can deploy via registry directly.
