(Forgive my lack of code detail, I'm not the lead programmer, just working with what I know. I can ask him if there are questions about certain files/code he is using)
I'm doing testing on a web application my team has developed. It uses Microsoft.Net framework 2.0 - and downloads & runs the .NET 2.0 component when you click a button on the site. We have a separate executable that sets the fulltrust .NET framework access to our server (and checked that it's valid by using caspol -lg).
We've done testing on multiple machines, two of which is are images of XP and Vista that have their settings locked down by a group policy (FDCC image). I have the ability to change the locked settings
Performance:
Local PC XP (IE7) - shows up in under 10 seconds
Local PC Vista (IE7) - shows up in under 10 seconds
Locked down XP Image (IE7) - shows up in under 10 seconds
Locked down Vista Image (IE7) - <b>shows up in about 6 minutes</b>
I've gone through these steps to allow the component to run (though slowly for the locked down Vista):
1) Added our local server's web address to the "Trusted Sites" zone - the default is "Medium" security (which allows signed/unsigned components, high safety permissions for components w/ manifests)
2) Set the FIPSAlgorithmPolicy = 0 (until we can change Rijndael to TripleDES)
I've attempted to speed it up by:
1) Disabling Windows Firewall
2) Disabling UAC
3) Disabling Windows Defender
4) Disabling Protected Mode
What happens:
When the button on the site is clicked, the IE window basically freezes for 5-6 minutes. The progress bar at the bottom of the window looks stuck at about 5%. Then when it gets near 6 or so minutes, it immediately loads the component. I never get any errors.
On the unlocked Vista machine the component starts within 10 seconds of pressing the button.
When I check the Windows Security Log there multiple entries - but they seem to be all related to search indexing and license activation scheduler, nothing that seemed relating to the issue.
Any help would be appreciated. My next step is having the programmer look into the issue, but he's got so much on his plate I'm trying to be of some help.
