Security Settings

Most default browser settings allow you to view the West NSC VIP Room without problems. If you have difficulty viewing your information, and to make sure that your information is secure, ADP recommends the following security settings.

 

Microsoft® Internet Explorer (Version 5.5 or higher)

Important: Microsoft strongly recommends that you install the latest released version of Internet Explorer, which provides improved security protection.

To set your security settings for Microsoft Internet Explorer, do the following.

  1. Start Microsoft Internet Explorer.

  2. On the browser menu bar, select Tools Internet Options.

On this tab

Do the following

General

Under the section "Temporary Internet files", click Settings. Then, under the section "Check for newer versions of stored pages:" select the Every visit to the page option.

Security

Under the section "Security level for this zone", click Custom Level. Then, scroll to the "Scripting" section and make sure the Active scripting option is set to Enable.

Privacy

Under the section "Settings", click Advanced. Then, under the section "Cookies", make sure the Override automatic cookie handling check box is not selected.

Advanced

Apply the following settings.

  • Under the section "Browsing", select the Enable page transitions option.

  1. Click OK.

Adobe® Reader® (Version 6.0.2 or higher)

Note: Adobe Reader is required to view certain documents. If it is required, you will see the Adobe Reader icon on the Home page after you log in.

In some instances, when a PDF is displayed inside a web browser (instead of a separate browser window), sensitive data may be saved to a temporary file on your hard drive even after you log off from the West NSC VIP Room. To prevent this from happening, you can set Adobe Reader to display your PDF document in a separate browser window.

To set Adobe Reader to display PDFs in a separate browser window, do the following.

  1. Start Adobe Reader.

  2. On the menu bar, select Edit Preferences.

  3. In the left navigation, select Internet.

  4. Under the section "Web Browser Options", make sure the Display PDF in browser option is not selected.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Close the Adobe Reader.
