Content Tab

Video: For a quick overview of how to manage the Content tab using Endpoint Policy Manager Application Settings Manager see the following video: http://www.endpointpolicymanager.com/video/endpointpolicymanager-manage-ie-content-tab.html.

The Content tab lets you specify various restrictions. The IE AppSet now has content advisor settings, as shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14. Configuring IE content advisor settings.

The Content tab has a section for "Content Advisor," which can specify the web pages that are allowed or blocked. In order to use this, you must select "Turn on Content Advisor for IE 8 and 9" (if your target is IE 8 or 9). Then you must set a password and specify the websites. The first line can be MODE=REPLACE or MODE=MERGE. If the mode is not specified, the behavior is MERGE. Next, you can specify a website with a comma then the word "allow," "block," or "remove," as shown in Figure 15.

This Endpoint Policy Manager dialog corresponds to the following IE 8 dialog as shown in Figure 16. Note IE 10 and 11 don't have this dialog, but the settings can be delivered anyway.

A certificates section is seen here, but in the AppSet, it's been moved to a tab called "Extras" and will be described later. You can, however, disable or hide the certificates buttons using Endpoint Policy Manager, as shown in Figure 17.
