user's credentials to the Web service for use with SQL Server. See "Place the Web Server in the Internet
Explorer Trusted Zone" below.
Place the Web Server in the Internet Explorer Trusted Zone
To ensure that Internet Explorer can delegate the VCM user's credentials to the Web service for use with
SQL Server, you must place the VCM Web server in the Internet Explorer Trusted Zone.
When the VCM Web server is in the trusted zone, users can disable navigation into the trusted zone from
less privileged zones, which reduces the potential of cross-site scripting. When the Web server is not in a
trusted zone, the browser cannot authenticate the Web server.
Procedure
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click Tools and select Internet Options.
3. Click the Security tab.
4. In the Select a zone to view or change security settings area, click Local intranet.
