Disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration on Windows™ Server 2014

This Windows™ security feature prevents Internet Explorer from navigating to sites that are not listed in the browser's 'trusted sites'. How does it affect you? If you plan to import scan configuration templates from AppScan® Standard, the scan might not be able to log in to the sites you want to test. Use these instructions to disable the feature on the servers where the Dynamic Analysis Scanner is installed.

Procedure

  1. Start the Server Manager (Server Manager > Local Server).
  2. In the Properties section, scroll to the right until you see this option: IE Enhanced Security Configuration, and toggle the setting to Off.
  3. In the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration window, disable the IE ESC for Administrators and Users, and click OK.
    Note: In the Server Manager, you will notice that the setting has not changed. Press F5 to refresh the screen to see that the setting has turned off.
