Help needed on ActiveX with IE6

[patstone]

Hello.

My setup is as follows.

IE 6 security settings is enabled for "Download signed ActiveX controls" and disabled for "Download unsigned ActiveX controls" and this setting cannot change.

The ActiveX control I am trying to download is unsigned so when I type in the URL which is the IP address of a server on my domain ie. \\10.0.0.1\app the ActiveX control wont download and install and the app wont work.

If I get the ActiveX control signed will it download & install or will I need to give the users admin rights ?

Admin rights won't help.

Add 10.0.0.1 as a trusted site on the users PC. That may be enough - depending on other IE settings. If not, get the app signed. You may need to import the certificate.

Thanks stduc,

You replied before I had time to update my original post:

users do NOT have access to their C: , now with this additional info will users need admin rights to run the ActiveX control ?

Also, I am going to get the ActiveX control signed.

Windows only allows users with local administrator rights to install ActiveX controls, and then only if permitted by the GPO. Once an ActiveX control is installed by an administrator, any user of the system can invoke it.

If your talking about only a few users I suggest you install the activeX for them (on their PC using an admin account). In which case I guess it won't have to be signed.
