[All Professional ChromeOS Administrator Questions]

To allow remote users to securely connect to an internal network, the organization you’re supporting is using a VPN. The organization would like you to configure the ChromeOS devices so that the Android VPN clients deployed are automatically configured with the correct hostname. How should you configure this in the Admin Console according to Google best practice?

A. Download the Android app on a ChromeOS device, add the hostname manually, then re-upload the app in the organization’s private Google Play Store and deploy it to all ChromeOS devices.
B. Contact the VPN provider and ask them to provide you with a custom installable client with the correct configuration pre-configured. Then deploy that installable.
C. Add a managed configuration using JSON to the Android app.
D. Upload a JSON file with the configuration into the Google Play Store.

Selected Answer: C

Managed Configurations (App Config): This is the standard Android Enterprise way for developers to allow IT admins to remotely configure their apps. If the VPN app developer has implemented support for managed configurations (which most enterprise-focused VPN clients do), they will expose specific keys (like hostname, port, username_template, etc.) that you can set. You define these settings as key-value pairs, often structured in JSON, within the Google Admin console when you approve and configure the app for deployment. When the app is pushed to the ChromeOS devices, it automatically receives and applies these configurations.

C. Add a managed configuration using JSON to the Android app. Explanation: To automatically configure Android VPN clients with the correct hostname on ChromeOS devices, the best practice is to use a Managed Configuration. This is done via the Google Admin Console, where you can apply JSON-based configurations to Android apps deployed on managed ChromeOS devices. Steps to Configure Android VPN Client via JSON: Go to Google Admin Console → Devices > Chrome > Apps & Extensions Locate and select the Android VPN app you are deploying Click on "Managed Configurations" Enter the JSON configuration with the correct hostname and settings Save and deploy the configuration to the relevant Organizational Units (OUs)
