Applets and ActiveX Policies

HTTP > Applets and ActiveX > Policies

The Applet/ActiveX security list shows all Applet/ActiveX scanning policies on the system—enabled as well as disabled. Click Add to create a new policy, or click the list to edit an existing one.  

• Enable Applet/ActiveX security—Globally controls the enabled status of all policies; overrides the status of an individual policy. (Click Save after enabling/disabling applet/ActiveX security.)

• Add—Opens the Add Policy wizard, which takes you through the steps to define a new policy.

• Priority—Sets the order of precedence; if two conflicting policies overlap in their scope, the policy with the higher priority (closer to 1) will be applied and the other ignored. MORE>>

  Applet/ActiveX Security policy manager first evaluates a given Web request by finding out to which group, if any, the requesting client is a member, and then evaluates which policy or policies are in effect for that group.

  If the client is affected by more than one policy, the policy with the highest priority is applied.

• Note 1: The Applet/ActiveX Security Global Policy is the default policy. It automatically applies to all users. However, the global policy always takes the lowest priority and any policy with a higher priority in the list takes precedence.

• Note 2: The Applet/ActiveX Security Guest Policy is enabled only after certain conditions have been met, and the guest machine logs on using a special port. See Guest Policy.  

• Deploy Policies—Click after creating or modifying an Applet or ActiveX security policy to have it immediately take effect.
