.ASPX Files Now Download Instead of Launching from SharePoint
Hello all,
My organization has recently discovered an issue with .aspx files hosted on SharePoint. We've been using them to launch Storyline and Rise files so they act like web pages (like this). ...
One of my clients is facing this same issue. Any updates?
Hi JanKouwenhoven, I started seeing the SharePoint issue again a little over a week ago, so we suspect that Microsoft pushed out the change to prevent custom scripts on SharePoint. To my knowledge, this isn't a defect. It's a permanent change that doesn't have a simple workaround. Options include:
- Seeing if the SharePoint admin can permanently disable the block on custom scripts without any unacceptable security implications. That would make the site work as normal, but it's a big IF.
- Seeing if the SharePoint admin can temporarily disable the block so you can make updates within a given window. Less of a risk, more to coordinate and you'd have to do it every time you want to make an update.
- Putting the content somewhere else: an LMS, a web server, etc. More of a hassle to set up, but probably the best option for operating without IT intervention once you get set up.
The best next step is to engage the technology/IT team and work with them to come up with the solution that fits within the organization's security policies and infrastructure.
