Disable XSS filter in IE 8 using the registry

If you find yourself needing to the disable cross site scripting (XSS) filter in IE 8 using the registry for any reason, you can make the change for a user in this spot:

(This example is using the Trusted Sites Zone)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\2

1409  DWORD  0x00000003

If you need to enable it, set the value back to 0x00000000

Use a script, reg import or whatever to apply it at logon for the user...

How To Deploy Java Certs to All Users in Citrix or Terminal Server

Some Java app sites require users to accept certificates whenever they go to the site. 

Note:  This modification has to be done on a per site basis – every Java app site that users go to. 

1 – Go to the java app site.

2 – When prompted, put a check mark in “Always trust content from this publisher” and click the Yes button.

If you get a digital signature error after acceptance, then put a check mark in the “Always trust content from this publisher” checkbox again and click Run.

After clicking through these prompts, the trusted.certs file located in “%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\security” is modified.

3 - Copy the trusted.certs file to the C:\scripts\Java\security folder on the XenApp server.  You can rename any existing trusted.certs files that reside there in case of any need to fall back to the previous one.

Use a logon script that runs for each user to copy that file into each user’s profile as they log on to the server and all the sites\certs referenced in the trusted.certs file will work automatically for the users.

Quick thoughts - Primavera p6 v7 on W2K8 Server x64/Citrix XenApp 5

Oracle's documentation on installing Primavera in a x64 terminal server environment doesn't quite get us all the way there...


Some items I have found that should be better documented for installing on a Citrix server:


1 - You must install a x86 Oracle client - Primavera does not have a x64 client in this version.  This also means you have to configure ODBC from c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.
2 - On a Windows 2008 x64 server, I had to allow PM.exe and dbconfig.exe within DEP (data execution prevention).  I have not had to do this for any other of the many applications installed on the server.
3 - Since this is a x86 client, it does not seem to like being installed in "Program Files (x86)".  Install it in a folder without the (x86) designation.


Edit:  After figuring these items out, the Primavera installer would still fail when attempting to run dbconfig.exe.  I received the following message:


"Bad public user name or password. Database Server Error: OCI version 11.2.0.1.0 Production is not supported;"


A case was opened with Oracle and they provided 3 dll's that needed to be replaced.  The issue is due to a bug in the installer for V24733 (P6v7 w/SP3) in combination with the 11gR2 client (32-bit).  This has solved the issue.
