Question

Credentials problem on Chrome, Windows 10

Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Windows 10 Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393

Flash version -- whatever is built-in to Chrome 63.0.3239.132, I can't see it because...

When I load Flash Player Help , the animation does not run. In Developer Tools Console, I see the following error in flash-player.html:1:

Failed to load data:text;charset=utf-8,: The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header in the response is '' which must be 'true' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.

If I select the info button to the left of the URL, the drop-down shows Flash - allowed by an Extension, and "Allow" to the right of it.

That's my main question. I will probably open a separate issue that may or may not be related to this, in which I cannot login to vCloud director -- in middle of the page it says "vCloud Director requires Adobe Flash Player" even though Allow shows up after Flash.

    I'm not able to reproduce the problem you describe.  I see some complaints in the developer console about some of the embedded analytics libraries, but they don't have any bearing on this.

    The bottom line is that Flash content isn't working for you on multiple sites, despite the fact that you've enabled it.

    Chrome is ultimately making the decision about whether or not to run Flash Player.  We're not even getting invoked, so there's no magic that we can work from our end.

    The following guide might be useful:

    Use or fix Flash audio & video - Computer - Google Chrome Help

    I did notice that the version of Chrome you're using is a little behind.  It's probably worth updating it. 


    If you're not able to run Flash Player after following the directions in Google's guide above, a fresh install of Chrome is probably a good next step.

    Upgraded to 64.0.3282.167, to no avail. Have tried all of the suggestions in the link above multiple ways. At one point, Flash worked on Chrome but it doesn't anymore. I no longer get the error message above, it simply doesn't work - tells me that Flash is disabled, but Chrome thinks that it is.

    Yeah, I think you're basically looking at a clean install of Chrome at this point, then re-following the directions above to enable Flash Player.
