Configuring browser security

Because Web Access uses your Internet browser, the browser’s security settings also affect Web Access. Depending on your organization’s security policies, the version of Windows installed on your computer, and your permissions on the computer, the browser security settings might interfere with proper Web Access operation. This is particularly true for the default settings in newer versions of Windows. Following are recommended security settings for Microsoft Internet Explorer for use with Web Access:

• Web Access locations should be added as trusted sites
• Internet Explorer Protected Mode should be cleared

To configure these Internet Explorer settings:

1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, select Internet Options. The Internet Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Security tab. The security options appear.
3. Select the Trusted sites zone. The zone’s current security level is shown.
4. Click the Sites button. The Trusted sites dialog box appears.
5. Type the address of the Web Access server, for example, http://MyServer and click Add. The server is added to the Websites list.
6. Click Close to return to the Internet Options dialog.
7. Clear the Enable Protected Mode checkbox, if it is selected.
8. Click OK to save your changes.
