ActiveX deployment

The following outline describes using BlueZone Web-to-Host with Windows Vista, or newer and Internet Explorer:

ActiveX is subject to certain security limitations to minimize the risk of installing and running malicious code.
With Windows Vista or newer, the ActiveX Installer Service allows standard users to download and run administrator approved controls.
The BlueZone Web-to-Host Site must be added to the user's trusted sites in order for the ActiveX control to install in the browser.
Protected Mode must be turned off for Trusted Sites.

The following considerations must be taken into account before deploying BlueZone to Windows Vista, Windows 7, or newer, users.

Web-to-Host Version 7.1 and later

If you are using BlueZone Web-to-Host Version 7.1 or later to deploy to Windows Vista or newer, take the following information into consideration before deploying:

Applies when User Account Control (UAC) is enabled and the Internet and Intranet Zones have Protected Mode enabled. When UAC is disabled, Vista operates like XP.
Note: For a detailed explanation of User Account Control, refer to the Microsoft website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/user-account-control.aspx
The BlueZone ActiveX Web-to-Host Control Module has the ability to run with protected mode enabled in the browser. This requires a protected mode setting in the Web-to-Host Wizard that forces BlueZone to run in the browser’s protected mode sandbox, regardless of the browser setting. This is best when deploying BlueZone outside the enterprise to partners, customers, and so on.
If the BlueZone Web-to-Host site is not in protected mode, then the BlueZone site must be in a trusted zone. Best when used within the enterprise.
If the user's browser is in protected mode, but not set to trust the BlueZone Web-to-Host site, they are prompted by the BlueZone Web-to-Host Control Module to add the BlueZone Web-to-Host site to their trusted zone before proceeding.
