  As with any software product or network environment, IntraLaunch is only as secure as you decide to make it. We understand IntraLaunch may present a small security concern and have outlined a few steps below that would remove the already minimal risk IntraLaunch may present.


  • Security Example New Customers who purchase a site license can request a "secured" version of IntraLaunch that will only work within a specific URL/domain. For example, a customer will receive a custom build of IntraLaunch that will will only operate if the URL present in the web browser's location/address bar starts with one of the following:

          http://yourintranet.company.com/
          https://yourintranet.company.com/
          http://domain.company.com/portal/
          file:

    This provides an extra level of saftey and completely eliminates any minimal security risk associated with IntraLaunch making it the most secure yet flexible solution available. You can specify your URL when ordering online, or contact support.


  • ActiveX is a security risk by itself. Its recommended that you disable ActiveX in the "Internet" zone, and enable ActiveX in the "Local intranet" zone only for specific sites including your Intranet. To do this - from the Internet Explorer menu, click Tools, then Internet Options, then click the Security tab to see a list of zones.

    Dialog Example 1
    This will disable ActiveX content for the Internet. Then make sure you have ActiveX enabled for the Local intranet zone. Then add your companies web server or Intranet address to the "Local intranet" Sites as shown below.

    Dialog Example 2
    This will allow ActiveX and IntraLaunch to work inside of your Intranet only.


  • Having your firewall filter and stop all packets with any number of IntraLaunch key words such as its ClassID (CLSID:0AE533FE-B805-4FD6-8AE1-A619FBEE7A23 for the trial version) will stop web pages with IntraLaunch objects from even reaching the browser to begin with.


  • The Internet Explorer Administration Kit from Microsoft will allow you to better control IE setting and restrictions for a large number workstations. Although untested, you should also be able to use this to disable specific ActiveX content or stop IntraLaunch/Particle Software components from running outside of the "Local intranet" zone.
