ActiveX Requirements in High-Interactivity Deployments


This section describes in detail the ActiveX requirements for deploying Siebel applications in high-interactivity mode. For more information, see About Deployment Modes for Siebel Web Clients.

Siebel Business Applications in high-interactivity mode rely on ActiveX technology to deliver features such as interactive controls, keyboard accelerators, email client integration, and so on. For a list of the ActiveX download files (CAB files), see ActiveX Controls Distributed for High Interactivity.

A browser running a high-interactivity application should be enabled to work with (download, instantiate, and script) ActiveX controls. It is recommended that the URL for Siebel Business Applications be part of a zone for which security settings are defined as described in this section.

In addition, system administrators may need to modify permissions for users or applicable groups.

For most deployments, downloading ActiveX controls on demand from a Web server is preferable; code for each control is downloaded to the Downloaded Program Files directory when the control is invoked for the first time by an application feature.

Downloading ActiveX controls requires permissions associated with Power Users. For some controls, running a control may also require such permissions. The methods below are commonly used to meet applicable requirements. How to implement each approach is described in the following sections:
