Stage 4: Automatic browser configuration

You can assign URLs to files that will automatically configure the customized browsers. This feature is helpful if you want to control the settings of several users from one central location.

You can also configure options by using .ins files, also known as IEAK profiles. Using .ins files, you can include standard proxy settings. You can also specify script files in .js, .jvs, or .pac format that enable you to configure and maintain advanced proxy settings.

If you specify URLs for both automatic configuration and automatic proxy (auto-proxy), the auto-proxy URL will be incorporated into the .ins file. The correct form for the URL is http://share/test.ins.

To enable automatic configuration, select the Enable automatic browser configuration check box. Type the URL for the .ins file you want in the Auto-configure URL (.ins) file box. Type the URL for the autoproxy script in the Auto-proxy URL (.js) or (.pac) file box.

For more information about .ins files, see the .ISP/.INS Reference Guide. For auto-proxy files, see JavaScript or JScript Auto-Proxy Example Files. For more information about proxy selection and bypass, see Using Proxy Selection and Proxy Bypass Lists.

Auto-configure every xx minutes
You can specify the interval in minutes for the auto-configure feature. If you enter zero, or don't enter a value, auto-configure will happen only when the user's computer is restarted.
