Add SharePoint Site to Local Intranet Security Zone in IE7

As more and more people are beginning to use SharePoint to share information, you have probably found yourself accessing a SharePoint site (e.g. the IT Training Handouts site, a program team site, CED, Region, or County site). To save yourself from having to logon each time and remember to add the AG\ before your UserID, you can add the SharePoint site to your Trusted Sites within Internet Explorer.

 

NOTE - you should ONLY do these steps on your PRIMARY computer. If you share a computer, we recommend that you DO NOT complete these steps since SharePoint is a secure website. You will need to logon with AG\ followed by your PSU UserID and AG password.

1. Go to the SharePoint site.
2. From the Internet Explorer Tools menu choose Internet Options.
3. Click the Security tab.
4. Click Local Intranet . Click the Sites button.
5. Click the Advanced button.
   
   Note: If needed, un-check the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
   
   
6. Confirm that http://sharepoint.ag.psu.edu/ OR http://sts.ag.psu.edu/ is in the Add this website to the zone box.
7. Click the Add button. The address should appear in the Websites list.
8. Click the Close button.
9. Click OK. Click OK.
10. Exit Internet Explorer.
11. Re-open Internet Explorer and go to your SharePoint site
