10.5 Customize Internet Explorer's trusted zone Internet security options

Enable Automatic logon with current username and password

Disable Navigate subframes across different domains

Disable Web sites in less privileged web content zone can navigate into this zone

Disable Display mixed content

Allowing Automatic logon enables IE to transfer credentials to machines in the trusted zone without user interaction.

When this is combined with the IIS setting to use Integrated Windows Authentication, the result makes the login

process resistant to spoofing and cross-site attacks. Under this configuration, login prompting does not take place

within the context of the browser, but rather within the Windows login system, which is substantially resistant to such

attacks. Users are advised to treat VCM login prompts with caution and skepticism since such prompts are possibly

an indication of attack.
