In this section we will enable Client Integration for the authentication provider of the web application. Enabling Client Integration at the authentication provider will allow us to permit high-trust user groups to use client integration features.

If no users of a web application will use client integration features, then you can use the same steps to disable Client Integration for the web application.

Disable Client Integration Features for Low-Trust User Groups

For low-trust user groups, or other groups for which DRM will be enabled, client integration features will need to be disabled per group, as described in the sections Creating a Limited Permission Level to Assign to Low-Trust User Groups and Assigning a Limited Permission Level to Low-Trust User Groups. We disable Client Integration for low-trust user groups because Client Integration interferes with the functioning of the Prizm DRM Redirector, causing a dialog to display before redirection and causing some file types to not be redirected.
