Integrated RFID and Internet Explorer 10 or 11

If you access Leap through Internet Explorer (IE) 10 or 11, and you use Security Manager for integrated RFID, the Leap web site must be in Internet Explorer's Trusted Sites list. This is because the Leap website is typically in IE's Internet Zone, while Security Manager is in IE's Intranet Zone and IE does not allow Internet and Intranet zones to connect with one another.

To solve this issue, allow the Leap website to access data sources across domains:

1. Log into Leap.
2. Click Tools on Internet Explorer's menu.
3. Click Internet options.

The Internet Options dialog box opens.

4. On the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab.
5. On the Security tab, click the Trusted Site zone icon.
6. Click the Sites button.

The Trusted sites dialog box opens with the Leap website in the Add this website to the zone box.

7. Click Add.

The Leap URL is added to the Websites list.

8. Click Close to return to the Security Tab.
9. On the Security Tab for Trusted Sites, click the Custom level… button.

The Security Settings - Trusted Sites Zone dialog box opens.

10. Scroll down to the Miscellaneous node.
11. Under Access data source across domains, click Enable.

12. Select OK to close the Security Settings - Trusted Sites Zone dialog box.
13. Select Apply to apply your changes.

14. Select OK to close the Internet Options dialog.
