Internet Explorer settings for users

To avoid users having to enter credentials every time they access the SharePoint server or Enterprise Vault SharePoint archive, the Enterprise Vault server and SharePoint Server can be added to local intranet sites in Internet Explorer.

If you are using Active Directory, you can employ a group policy to apply the zone changes to all domain users by editing the Internet Explorer Maintenance settings within the policy.

To modify the setting for an individual user

  1. On each client computer, open Internet Explorer.

  2. Go to Tools, Internet Options and click the Security tab.

  3. Click Trusted sites and then Sites.

  4. Enter the URL for the SharePoint server and click Add. For example:

    http://my_sharepoint_server

  5. Enter the URL for the Enterprise Vault Web Access application server and click Add. For example:

    http://myEnterpriseVaultServer

  6. Click OK to close the Trusted Sites window.

  7. If a pop-up blocker is being used, configure it so that it does not block the Web Access application URL.

  8. Close Internet Explorer.
