Exceed onDemand 5 — A Technical Whitepaper Figure 40 — Last step, select the installation settings, including path types. Click Build to finish User Rights and Security Exceed onDemand Deployment Wizard does not require the user to have any particular access rights on the machine. On Windows NT, ® both Users and Administrators can install and use ActiveX controls through their browser. On Windows 2000 and XP, Microsoft has introduced an additional user group in between users and administrators: the power user group. Administrators and Power Users are capable of using and installing ActiveX controls with their standard rights. As far as users are concerned, Exceed onDemand Deployment Wizard includes a mechanism to allow these users with low privileges to perform the deployment without having to change their rights. This mechanism is automatic and fully respects the Microsoft Windows security mode. A common sentiment among administrators is that ActiveX equates to a security breach on their users’ machines. Nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, a signed ActiveX applet has no more potential for destruction than a signed Java applet that has been granted the rights to read and write on the disk (which is the case with most java web-to-host applets that are available). More importantly, ActiveX is not particularly related to the browser. ActiveX is simply a part of the COM architecture specification, which allows developers to describe visual interfaces to their COM objects. Actually, Windows users use thousands of ActiveX objects every day without knowing it and without using a browser. 60
Update a Package > Exceed onDemand 5 — A Technical Whitepaper Package Update Wizard allows administrators to quickly rebuild multiple packages at once. This feature is particularly useful when the administrator has applied a patch to the administrative installation. Package Update Wizard can re-generate new packages in batch mode. Figure 41 — Use Package Update Wizard to update many deployment packages in batch mode. Create an Index Page Index Page Wizard allows administrators to specify several existing deployment packages and automatically generates an HTML index page that contains multiple links, one for each package. Figure 42 — Index Page Wizard create an index page for the selected deployment packages. 61
