Trusted sites issue...

[jlpingree]

I consider this a bug not a feature.

Whenever I add a trusted site via an IP addressed URL, as in:
https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/*.* OR https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/*

IE removes the *.* or * (wild card matches).

Every time we want to log out of our secure environment we get javascript
errors, basically the code is being blocked by IE. This is EXTREMELY
fustrating since we have the URL listed as a trusted site!!! Unless we
delete the basic URL and add the URL WITH the logout page, as in:
https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/logout.aspx the code is refused by IE.

Am I a little fustrated YES... Do I not understand why it works this way? If
so, please explain.

BTW, I do not experiance this issue with Firefox!!

Thank you.

Hi,

Have you ensured that your script does not include references
to unsecured or third party sites? If the script uses resources
from an unsecured area, or sends to a different site, it may be
possible to generate such errors (and rightly so - if that is the
case, the script is not very secure!). However, this is just a
guess - as you requested, here are some resources on how Security
Zones operate in IE:

Internet Explorer Security Options, Part 1

Internet Explorer Security Options, Part 2
http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/20622/20622.html
(the above resource includes links to parts 3-6 as well).

How to Use Wild Cards When You Add Web Sites to Security Zones

Hope the above links are of some use - I've tried to rank them
according to perceived usefulness, but that is, of course,
subjective.

Best regards,

If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to ask,
