If your environment includes remote preview (that is, the preview application is deployed on ATG servers that do not run the Business Control Center), you must specify a preview domain or host name.

If your environment uses a domain name-based URL strategy, both the remote preview application and the publishing server must run in the same domain. When merchandisers launch a preview session, Merchandising attempts to obtain the domain from the server name in the preview URL. To ensure the correct domain is used, specify a preview domain with the previewDomain property of the atg/dynamo/service/preview/PreviewManager component. For example:

# PreviewManager.properties
# Explicitly sets the document.domain property in both the BCC page and the
#preview page to "oracle.com"
previewDomain=oracle.com

Configuring Browser Security Settings for Merchandising Users

If your environment includes remote preview, configure all broswers from which users access Merchandising to automatically accept, or prompt for acceptance of, third-party cookies. Alternately, specify the preview domain as a trusted domain from which cookies are always accepted. This type of configuration is recommended for all supported browsers but is required for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.

To configure Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 to accept cookies from the preview server, complete the following steps. Note that this procedure configures an individual installation of Internet Explorer 9. You can also configure multiple installations with a Group Policy.
