Cdu 419 SilentUpload FileSystemObject Permission

MrWho

Hello!

When using Codeunit 419 3-Tier Automationg Mgt. function "SilentUpload", the user running RTC gets the following question:

"The server has requested to run FileSystem Object on your client." with the following options:
- "Allow this time, but ask next time"
- "Always allow"
- "Never allow"

OK / CANCEL

The Nav Service middle tier is running as a dedicated domain user and not "Network Service" account.

My question is if this is normal / expected behaviour, or should we have setup the 3-Tier architecture differently to avoid this questions on the client side when creating automation to run on client computer?

This is by design and you cannot disable this confirm. But you can answer the dialog first time and it will not popup again on the client (you can try to check where it is written that the automation is already confirmed and you can try to "copy" this setting to other clients).

MrWho

Thank you very much for your tips kine. We'll try to see if we can find that out, otherwise we'll make a codeunit creating the different automations needed and make new users run this once, and say to the user that all of this must be allowed always? Perhaps an easier solution

I've tested ClausL SaveASPDF E-mail thing, using his codeunit "ReportHelper", and here I get the question 4 times, for:
- ScriptControl Object
- OApplication Class
- OSendMail Class
- BSTRConverter Class

It just seems to be an overflow of messages for the user. I see the security thing behind this, but there should be possible to setup some kind of trust of the domain user running the Nav Server on the users computer or something.

If changing the Nav Server to run as Network service, the behaviour will still be the same? (Perhaps stupid question)

kine

Yes, it is same, and I have tried to request some settings to disable this confirmations or something like that, but we will see (the user have no enough knowledge to decide if he need to allow or not the DLL to load...)

How can I change the setting if the user has selected Never Allow?

I believe they are stored in Personalization.xml file. If you delete that file from your client computer, it should reset.
