Extension Packages for On-Demand Installation
If on-demand installation of the Authentic Browser plug-in is planned, the zipped Authentic Browser extension package/s (CAB file/s) must be stored on the server. When the HTML page for Authentic Plug-in is accessed in the client browser for the first time, instructions in the HTML page cause the relevant extension package to be downloaded from the server to the client, unzipped, and installed on the client.
The required Authentic Browser extension package/s for on-demand installation can be downloaded from the Altova website. They must be stored on the server as a zipped CAB file.
Internet Explorer v5.5 or higher (32-bit) | CAB file (for 32-bit IE) |
Internet Explorer (64-bit) | CAB file (for 64-bit IE) |
CAB files for Internet Explorer are available for 32-bit IE browsers and 64-bit IE browsers. You may wish to store both types of CAB file (32-bit and 64-bit) on the server. The HTML page for Authentic Plug-in could have a script that determines whether the browser is a 32-bit or 64-bit version and then downloads the correct CAB file. How to create such a script is described in the section, HTML Page for Authentic Plug-in | Browser-Independent.
Downloading and storing the CAB file
The CAB file is to be downloaded from the Altova Website and can be downloaded to any location on your server. If you are deploying the Enterprise edition of Authentic Browser, then the package must be stored on the server for which the Enterprise license has been registered.
The installer file (CAB) is a zipped file format. Do not unzip these files. The file extraction and installation on the client takes place automatically when the client opens the HTML page for Authentic Plug-in for the first time. The location of the CAB file on the server is specified in the HTML page for Authentic Plug-in.
