SUMMARY
If your computer resides behind a firewall, you must take steps to ensure that your Network Map (Partner.xml) is updated regularly and successfully. The steps that you take depend on which version of the Passport Software Development Kit (SDK) you are using.



MORE INFORMATION
If you are using Passport SDK version 1.4.1 or later, first make sure that the Passport SDK is installed. For more information about installing the Passport SDK, see the following Passport SDK Web site:

Installing the SDK

http://www.passport.com/devinfo/setup_sdk.asp

After the Passport SDK is installed, adjust your registry so that your proxy settings are available to the system process that obtains Partner.xml. To do this, copy the contents of the following registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings

to the following key:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings

If you are using Passport SDK version 1.4 or earlier, you can add a Network Map refresh page to your site. To create a Network Map refresh page, use the following code: <% Dim pmadmin, success

Set pmadmin = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Passport.Admin.1&quot;) success = pmadmin.Refresh(true)

%>   Client Test Pages<%=strPageHeading%>  &quot; bgcolor=&quot;<%=strPgeBackCol%>&quot;>

<% Response.write(&quot;Refresh occurred? &quot;) Response.write(success) %>
