RE: Internet Explorer Security Information

Christian,

I had requested that our site use the ssl protocol so our urls begin with
"https" instead of "http" due to the type of data we were making available
through AG. I believe there is a browser setting to address the security
warning pop-ups.
We should be using the https on any urls and image references.

Hi, Darren,
You are probably right. It was likely something asked for by Orfa, as she
has much more experience in data security than I do (read: any experience
whatsoever).

Were we aware of the issues this would cause when using the browser in IE?
We may have been advised on this, but I don't remember. Also, I don't think
the security notification was popping up at the time of launch. Do you
recall when this started happening?

Lastly, is there a way to find out what benefits this protocol provides?
Yours,
Christian

>> Hi, Bryon,
>> When visiting our website on Internet Explorer (which is the case for over

>> This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.
>> Do you want to display the nonsecure items?
>> This is very annoying. I don't experience this on other university websites.
>> Is this a problem for other AG clients? Can this possibly be changed on
