Communication Errors

Due to recent work by Microsoft to further secure its software, please follow the steps below to enable smsPULSE communication over the internet:

Note that this document applies to HTTP/S communication only.

Method 1
To allow all users on a computer to submit non-encrypted form data, do the following in Windows 2000 and later:

1.	From the Start menu, click Run, type "mmc" and then press ENTER.
2.	From the File menu, select Add/Remove Snap-In.
3.	In Add/Remove Snap-In, click Add.
4.	In Add Standalone Snap-In, from the list of available snap-ins, scroll to Resultant Set of Policy and select it, and then click Add.
The Resultant Set of Policy Wizard appears.
5.	Complete the Resultant Set of Policy Wizard using the following settings:
	a.	For Mode Selection, select Logging mode
	b.	For Compute Selection, select this computer.
	c.	For User Selection, select Display policy settings for and Current user.
6.	In the Resultant Set of Policy snap-in, expand the tree view in the action pane and browse to Security.

Tip The path in the tree view is as follows:
	Console Root
		[username] on [machinename] - RSoP
			User Configuration
				Windows Settings
					Internet Explorer Maintenance
						Security

7.	In the details pane, select Security Zones and Content Ratings.
8.	From the Action menu, select Properties.
9.	In Security Zones and Content Ratings, select Import the current security zones and privacy settings.
10.	Click View Settings.
11.	In View Settings, modify the settings to enable the "Submit non-encrypted form data" option for the Internet Zone.

Method 2
After performing the above, if you find that you cannot make the final functions as follows:

1. Run MMC again (From the Start menu, click Run, type "mmc" and then press ENTER) and Add a Group Policy Snap-in as follows:

2. Go to the security settings as follows, and right click to get "Properties":

3. You should now be able to perform the last function as follows:

4. You are now ready to Select the Internet Zone, modify it as follows and click OK:

5. Finally click OK (three more times) to save your changes. Try to run smsPULSE add-in again.

Method 3
Update the registry directly. As with all Windows System settings, they are kept in the registry. The registry settings are:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1]
"1601"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
"1601"=dword:00000000

This will fix the problem for the Intranet and Internet Zones (check the DisplayName setting in the registry to identify the zone). If you copy-and-paste this text in notepad and save it as noAccessDenied.reg�(enclosed here), you can merge these settings right into the registry by right clicking this file in the Explorer and select Merge.
