asp_web_howto thread: Activex Control doesnt downlod.. why?


Message #1 by "crazyaspconsultant" <bala_isme@y...> on Mon, 15 Apr 2002 03:30:05
Hi,
        I developed an asp page which uses 2 activex control. When the 
page is accessed by the user, the active-x contorls are not downloading in 
client machine automatically. It doesnt say any error either. I have kept 
the activex controls in the same web folder where my page exists. 

How to enable automatic download of active-x controls in client machine. 
Should i need to create cab? If yes, how to do that.. please help..

Thanks in Advance.

Its likely to be because of security settings in the browser.  If you want
to use unsigned activeX controls, your site needs to be a trusted site.
Even then you still have to adjust the security settings for trusted sites
to use the controls without a warning.

Hi Alex..

          I cant inform all the users (more than 5000)
to change the browser options. The security settings
will be default. Is there any way to make my control
work. If the browser (by default) gives a warning
sign, thats also ok. But nothing happens in my case.
       Also how to make my site trusted one. Should i
go for verisign digital sign? Does really an intranet
site needs such kinda sign from third party..? please
advise..

Regards.

you make your site a trusted site simply by going into the security tab of
the internet browser options and adding your site to "trusted sites".
Basically a user has to trust your site before he'll let your activex
control run... but of course these concepts are beyond the understanding of
most users, so for the internet you would really need the component to be
signed.

However, I see this is for an intranet.  You need to make sure that "local
intranet" appears in the bottom right corner when your page is viewed.  If
the IP address of the intranet server is an internal one (e.g. 10.xxx or
192.168.xxx) then the browser should automatically recognise it as a local
server.  If not, then the site needs to be manually added, either in the
same way as trusted sites, or by adding it to the proxy exception list.

Check with your network administrator, there may be a way of making this
change globally accross your network.
