Disable browser warning

[HullZabbix]

Is it possible to disable the warning before logging in to zabbix?

Even when users have IE8/9 they still get the warning. Fairly annoying!

disable msie compatibility mode. it is advertising itself to zabbix as msie6

recently, a colleague of mine had the same problem going on (not zabbix-related though). Turned off the compatibility mode, still had problems. Turned out that somehow internet explorer was still advertising it as IE 6.0. even after turning off compatibility mode.
This fixed it for him:

Check your browser's "User Agent String" here:

http://www.useragentstring.com/

Find the correct "User Agent String" for your setup here:

http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Internet%20Explorer/

How to prevent the modification of your "User Agent String".

1. Open this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform]

then delete any "User Agent String" found. Next,
right-click it and select Permissions.

2. Click the "Advanced" button.

3. Un-tick the box "Inherit from parent the permission
entries..." and tick the box "Replace permissions on
all child objects..."

4. In the window with all the accounts listed, left-click
below them and drag the mouse, highlighting them all,
except "SYSTEM". Click the "Remove" button.

5. Click on the account, "SYSTEM" to highlight it then
click the "Edit..." button. Disable all except "Read".

6. Apply, OK, OK.

7. If it's not correct, enter the "User Agent String" for
your setup here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]
"User Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Win32)"

Of course, a better solution would be to ditch IE for a better browser

at least the instructions would be shorter for that one =)

I appreciate the guide 0siris but I can't really go changing the reg keys for an entire office due to a small annoyance like this.

Is there a way to disable the warning on zabbix itself?

I use firefox myself, but unfortunately we're a MS gold partner and develop software mainly for IE. So for the office, ditching isn't an option

Anyone have any ideas?

fixing a browser so it doesn't lie is the proper solution of course...

you could also hack the zabbix frontend - just comment out the part at the bottom of js/browsers.js (beware, you will have to do that whenever you upgrade the frontend)

Fantastic, thanks for your help

As a note my IE 9 looks OK on the website above, but I still get the warning:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0)

My reg key is:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Win32)

hi

Me. its rather annoying and a pain that you can't turn it of at the server. Or atleast if its done once to by pass it after that

[richlv]

at least one known issue of msie9 switching to compatibility mode was solved by telling it not to do that - https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-5422

I got it when using IE 6.0.
Commenting on the following lines in the file ~/zabbix/js/browsers.js solved it.

if (document.cookie.indexOf('browserwarning_ignore') < 0) {
if (IE6 || IE7 || KQ) {
window.location.replace('');
}
}
