Domain Trust Issue

L

Lee Vance

I've got a form that stores the data locally, but pulls secondary datasources
from a SQL Server within the domain. The form is set to Domain Trust. But
whenever you open the form, it pops up up with an InfoPath Security Notice.
How can I get rid of that without having everyone go in and fully trust this
form? I want to get rid of anything that requires user interaction before
going into the form.

Thanks

Hi Vance,

Publishing locally is more restrictive than publishing to a Web site. Even
though you may specify Domain Trust, when you publish locally, that's not
what you get. You only get that when you publish to a Web server or
SharePoint site that is in your domain. The reason for this restriction has
to do with security. If people were to send you a link to an XML file that
referenced an XSN on your local machine, it might be possible to do malicious
things since that XML file will run as domain trust. Anyway, that's why it's
locked down.

For local installs, I recommend using the Regform tool to create a URN-based
solution that installs locally. You can make that full trust to access domain
sites. If the href for the solution (the URL where the XSN is) is local, you
can't do true domain. The only way is to publish the XSN to a website or
webserver and run it. Running locally full trusted via regform will give you
more access/control, so if you must have Domain trust but install locally,
the only other option is to run IIS locally and just install to your own web
server.

Hope this was heflpul!
