Running secure window Plug-in/ActiveX controls instead of regular window Plug-in/ActiveX controls ensures that, PowerBuilder applications deployed over the net doesn’t access information on the client workstation and damage the client workstation. Please note that running PowerBuilder applications in secure mode severely restricts the functionality. The following are the restricted areas.
From the PowerBuilder application you can only access the internet domain from which the application was launched. Access to other internet domains is restricted. You can't make use of OLE, DDE, e-mail and moreover can't do database access. Calling of external functions and some PowerScript functions are also restricted. Connecting to the Distributed PowerBuilder Application Servers is also restricted.
DataWindow Plug-ins allow read-only access to the DataWindows, so, there is no secure mode Plug-ins for DataWindows. We don't think any one would deploy PowerBuilder application in the secure mode, since, they can't connect to the distributed application server. You need to use NPPBXS60.DLL instead of NPPBX60.DLL for Netscape Plug-in and PBRXS60.OCX ActiveX control instead of PBRX60.OCX.
