Re: RWW ActiveX prompt

Here's the wind-up, the pitch...it's outa here!

Hey, thanks alot for your help. After adjusting browser settings, creating
a new certificate and re-doing my firewall access rule that forwards port
4125, it works!!

Now if I can figure out why our OWA is "read only" I'll be in business. If
any of you sluggers have any thoughts, my original post pertaining to this
dilemma is on 5/2/2007.

Thanks again.

When you're at home, by default you'll be in the 'internet' zone when
accessing your RWW or OWA, so security settings by default will probably not
allow active-x. If you trust the site (you do), then add it to trusted
sites - by default your IE security should prompt you. But browser security
settings can be all over the place as it's not well understood by the masses
and people just click on stuff hoping something happens ;-).

Third party security apps are yet another possible layer of
why_doesn't_it_work. Security and productivity are quite often at opposite
ends of the rope ;-).

Thanks, Chris. I've discovered that internally we get the activeX prompt
on
PC's on the LAN, but when I log in to /remote from home I don't get the
prompt. I have someone else checking from home tonight to see if it's
just
my browser, but I did open up the security settings to no avail.

I don't seem to be getting anywhere when posting to this forum, but I'll
hope
for a hit this time rather than a strike three.

When trying to connect to client machines through RWW, I noticed that I
am
not being prompted to download the activex control. Does anyone know
what
I
need to do to ensure that the browser will prompt the user to download
this
file?

When I get the prompt and accept the download, RDC thru RWW works like
a
charm.
