Hi,

I created a mms.cfg file with all of the option but when I visit a site which has swf movie its still blocking it.

 

File Name: MMS.cfg

Format: UTF-8

File Data:

 

EOLUninstallDisable=1

AutoUpdateDisable=1

EnableAllowList=1

AllowListURLPattern=*:*

 

How can i test to see my mms.cfg file is working or not.

 

I'm only doing this on Windows 10 1809/1909 Mahicnes

Also, the documentation for these features is in the "Enterprise Enablement" section of the Admin guide, here:

https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html

 

There are a couple documentation bugs that we're in the process of getting corrected and published.  You can't allow all ports, and you can't allow all domains.  You have to specify at least *.<something>.<something>  (e.g.*.adobe.com, etc).

AllowListURLPattern=*:* is not valid.  There's no "allow everything" setting.  The intent of this feature is to allow Enterprises with business-critical internal applications that are dependent on Flash to allow those specific applications in their managed environments.  This is not a mechanism to allow end-users to continue using Flash Player.

Well, all browsers will be blocking it, I'm not sure what good whitelisting would do...

        we found that after restart file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash get overwritten and browser (IE11) stopped working again. but it is possible that some other Enterprise update doing it.

        So if you see the same issue - double check that files are updated correctly
