Fixing Internet Explorer Security Settings for HP ALM QC
The first time I tried to run the HP ALM QC software, Internet Explorer immediately blocked the software.
To make sure the Internet Explorer does not block the Quality Center software, you first need to go to Tools tab on the Tool bar, then the Internet Options tab.
After selecting the Internet Options tab, the Internet Options window will pop up. Select the Advanced Tab.
Scroll down the Settings until you find the Security header.
Uncheck the “Check for Publisher’s certificate revocation.
After saving the settings change by selecting the Apply then OK Buttons, your HP ALM Quality Center software should now start working.
