To automatically configure FCDdeManager security on a client computer via script or batch files:
Add the Dovetail Agent URL to the computer's Trusted Sites list. This can be accomplished in several ways using a batch file or the Windows Scripting Host, which may involve manipulating the registry or calling various Shell functions or COM objects. For more information about how to set this up, please contact Dovetail Software.
Create a custom Internet permission set and add the necessary permissions.*
Switch the Trusted_Zone code group to use the new customized Internet permission set, instead of the default Internet permission set.*
Important: If a custom permission set has already been defined for the Trusted_Zone code group, then modify the batch file, or use another means of configuring the permissions of the Trusted_Zone.
*Note: Dovetail Agent ships with a batch file, SetFCDdeManagerPerms.bat, that performs steps 2 and 3. Execute this batch file as part of a login script or as a one-time execution. It will, if necessary, configure the permissions of the Trusted_Zone. This batch file is located in the scripts directory.
