Installing access disclosure plugins

Depending on the browser type, you may need to install additional software or extensions for some native access disclosure plugins to work. This section shows you how to install and run access disclosure plugins using:

  • Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge Legacy

  • Firefox

  • Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge Chromium

  • One-time disclosure method

Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge Legacy

In order to view access disclosure plugins on Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge Legacy, an ActiveX extension needs to be downloaded from the Bravura Privilege server. This needs to be done for each disclosure plugin that will be accessed.

Using the Active X controls requires these browsers to be in IE mode.

To install access disclosure plugins on Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge Legacy:

  1. On the Internet Explorer browser, select an access disclosure plugin in the Check-outs screen.

  2. Click Install.

    An ActiveX component extension installation window should appear.

  3. Click Allow for the web page to run the ActiveX add-on.

  4. Click Install to install the ActiveX extension.

    The access disclosure plugin should now be available.

    After an upgrade if controls are not installed close all IE browsers, delete all CONFLICT directories found in C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files\ and attempt the control installation again.

Mozilla Firefox

A Firefox extension as well as a native browser extension is required to view access disclosure plugins on Firefox. A download link will be available to install the browser extension if it has not been installed yet.

To install the Firefox and native browser extension:

  1. On the Firefox browser, select an access disclosure plugin in the Check-outs screen.

  2. Click Install firefox extension.

    A prompt to allow and install the Bravura Security Browser Add-On is displayed in the browser.

  3. In the Check-outs screen, click Install native extension.

  4. Run the firefox-extension-x86.msi or firefox-extension-x64.msi file. Alternatively, download and save the file onto your workstation and run the file.

    If you are logged in as an administrator, you can choose to install the browser extension for yourself or for all users on the workstation.

    The access disclosure plugins should now be available.

    If a previous version of native browser extensions for Firefox is already installed on the workstation (11.1.x or older) you must uninstall and install the current version.

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge Chromium

A Chrome extension as well as a native browser extension is required to view access disclosure plugins on Chrome. A download link will be available to install the extensions if it has not been installed yet.

To install the Chrome and native browser extension:

  1. On the Chrome browser, select an access disclosure plugin in the Check-outs screen.

  2. Click Install Chrome extension.

    This will open a new browser tab to the Bravura Security Browser Extension in the Chrome web store.

  3. Click Add to Chrome.

  4. Click Add extension.

  5. In the Check-outs screen, click Install native extension.

  6. Run the browser-extension-win-x86.msi file, or download and save the file onto your workstation and run the file.

    If you are logged in as an administrator, you can choose to install the browser extension for yourself or for all users on the workstation.

  7. When the installation completes, go to the Extensions Manager on the Chrome browser.

  8. Locate 'Bravura Security Browser Extension' in the Plugins section and select the checkbox beside Enabled.

    The access disclosure plugins should now be available.

One-time disclosure method

You can view access disclosure plugins using the one-time disclosure method. These have the same functionality as the native access disclosure plugins and do not require additional software, however they are good for one-time use only. The one-time disclosure is available as an executable that can be run directly or downloaded to be run on a different workstation. A new executable needs to be generated in order to view the access disclosure plugin again.

The one-time disclosure option is only available if the product administrator has enabled it, otherwise you will see this option grayed out.

To run the one-time disclosure:

  1. On a browser, select an access disclosure plugin in the Check-outs screen.

  2. Click One-time disclosure.

  3. Run the executable, or download and save the file onto your workstation, and run the file.

    The access disclosure plugin should be available after running the executable.

    Make sure you do not modify the file name of the one-time disclosure, otherwise the executable will not work properly.
