Question

How to white list URL

Hi,

The Adobe flash version we have is June 2020 release 32.0.0.387.  According to the Admin guide: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide/pdf/latest/flash_player_32_0_admin_guide.pdf 

Whitelisting of URL can be enabled by setting the following in the mms.cfg file:

EnableAllowList=1

AllowListUrlPattern=<your url>

Flash content still runs even when not in the allow list.  Is the above the correct settings to use, or is there anything else needed?  Thanks.

    Are you using Chrome? This PDF:https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide/pdf/latest/flash_player_32_0_admin_guide.pdf

    Indicates Chrome looks in its own location, check out page 36

    Thanks @Mark0D4D.  I will take a look at that for Chrome.

    My query is for IE.  Someone noted that those settings may not be in operation yet (the admin guide is ahead of the actual change).   Can the Adobe team confirm and if so when will it be available (one problem is that Win 10 IE doesn't get the Adobe Flash update unless there is a security fix).

    The allowList feature is in current versions of the player and works.  I don't remember exactly what version it landed in off the top of my head, but it would be in the relevant release notes.

     

    The latest version of the admin guide is very clear about how to use the feature, and provides copy-paste examples.  Just read the enterprise enablement section carefully and it should make sense.  I did a pretty heavy revision of the entire admin guide a few weeks ago, and it's probably the most comprehensive explanation of any feature we've done there.

     

    If it's not working for you, I'd start by making sure that mms.cfg is in the right location and actually being read.  Keep in mind that 32-bit and 64-bit processes run from different locations (windows/syswow64 or windows/system32 for 32 and 64-bit respectively).  Also, make sure you saved the file as ANSI or UTF-8.  If you saved it in a weird encoding, we'll ignore it.
