Security settings are divided into specific zones in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer distinguishes between four zones: Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted sites and Restricted sites. It is possible to configure the settings in detail for the permitted actions within each zone. In corporate networks, it is generally the administrator who configures these settings in accordance with the company policy. Otherwise, users may also define the settings themselves.
A document is assigned to a specific zone based on two characteristics:
Path / URL for documents – The paths/URLs for documents can be configured in Internet Explorer for each of the four zones (Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted sites and Restricted sites). All other paths/URLs are automatically allocated to the zone Internet.
The file's source (when downloading via the Windows file system) - When a document is downloaded from an external source, the zone that the file was in upon downloading is automatically allocated to the file. In this case, Internet Explorer’s security settings for the zone (ZoneID) detected in the file will apply.
Attention: To ensure that everything runs smoothly, it is recommended that you verify that the security zone settings for the server as well as for the published contents and the Trainer on the end user's side allow the contents to be played back without any problems. |
