How to Handle Security Warnings
You might see security warnings when you:
- Launch Sametime Connect for browsers.
- Access your company's Directory. The Directory is a master list of all people associated with your company. Your system administrator maintains the Directory. You might access the Directory when you Add a name to your contact list, the Who Can See If I Am Online list, or an announcement
The security warnings inform you that you are about to download a program to your computer. You must accept these warnings before you can use Sametime. The text in the warnings depends on the version of the browser that you use, but should be similar to the following:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer: The dialog box is called Security Warning. Select the check box in front of "Always trust content from Lotus Development Corporation," and then click Yes. There are two warnings; follow this procedure for both.
- Netscape Communicator: The dialog box is a Java Security warning. Select the check box in front of "Remember this decision," and then click Grant. There are two warnings; follow this procedure for both.
Note If you do not select "Always trust content from..." (Microsoft Internet Explorer) or "Remember this decision" (Netscape Communicator), you see the security warnings every time you perform an action such as accessing your company's Directory.
