Subject:HTML help and security issues From:"Beard, Lori (MED, GEMS-IT)" <Lori -dot- Beard -at- med -dot- ge -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 24 Apr 2001 15:31:58 -0500
Hello! I've checked the archives (spent most of yesterday wading through
them) and have not found anything that helps us with our problem.
We're transitioning from a windows-based help system to an HTML-based
help system for a client/server product as well as web applications and
possibly programs used in handhelds as well. This year we are focusing
on the client/server help.
Here's my dilemma: We may want to use the functionality found in
WebHelp, although that type of help file is uncompiled, exposing the
html files to anyone. As our files will be delivered to the user's site
(they don't always have full access to the Internet), we consider this
to be a security risk.
Has anyone out there found a way to deliver WebHelp for a client/server
system so that the underlying html cannot be tampered with?
I receive the digest, so please cc me directly to be sure I get your
welcome opinion as well.
TIA,
Lori
