Allow List for the Creo Embedded Browser
As the Creo Admin, you can now control the URLs that can be accessed from the Creo embedded browser.
You can create a list of approved websites, domain names, applications, and so on that are allowed to be accessed from the Creo embedded browser. Conversely, destinations that are not on the list cannot be accessed from Creo embedded browser.
To allow access to a specific list of resources, do the following:
1. Create a .txt Allow List file that contains the list of URLs and file paths that are approved for access by your organization.
 |
The .txt Allow List file supports wildcard characters, such as ., *,?, [A-Z], and so on. The delimiter is a new line character between entries.
|
2. In the Windows Registry Editor, navigate to the location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PTC.
3. Select PTC, right-click and select > .
4. Rename New Key #1 to Zbrowser.
5. Rename New Value #1 to AllowListLocation.
6. Select AllowListLocation, right-click and select Modify.
7. In the Value Data field, specify the name and full path to the text file that contains the list of approved URLs and file paths.

• By default, this registry key is not set, and access to all URLs and file locations is allowed.
• If you plan to use this option, then every URL invoked from inside Creo should be included in the text file referenced by the AllowListLocation key.
• If the text file is not accessible, then access to all URLs will be blocked.
• As a best practice, include the domain name as a part of the URL in the Allow List file.

PTC recommends including the following PTC domain URLs in the Allow List text file:
https://*.ptc.com*
http://*.ptc.com*
file:///C:/Program%20Files/PTC*
http://*.ptc.com*
file:///C:/Program%20Files/PTC*
Additionally to gain access to other resources using the Embedded browser, you can include the following URLs as well:
http://ptc.partcommunity.com/*
https://ptc.partcommunity.com/*
http://www.3dmodelspace.com*
https://*.3dmodelspace.com/*
https://*.punditas.com/*
https://ptc.partcommunity.com/*
http://www.3dmodelspace.com*
https://*.3dmodelspace.com/*
https://*.punditas.com/*
To access the Windchill servers from Creo, also include Windchill server URLs in the Allow List file.
