Forbid Active Content

From SAP Enable Now Wiki

Where to find it

  • Tools > Settings > Producer > General > Forbid Active Content setting

Purpose

For security reasons, 'active content' (files that can run code, such as .exe files) cannot be loaded into the Workarea as files. However, if this setting is deselected, it is possible to load such files.

Use

The most common reason for deselecting this setting is to allow the context.html file to be loaded into the Workarea. Otherwise, this file needs to be loaded to an external server. Be warned that allowing this file to be stored in the Workarea opens up the Workarea to all other types of 'active content'.
