IE7 Https website access troubleshooting

IE7 browser was born with the Vista operating system, but Microsoft also released the IE7 browser version for XP system. However, whether it is Vista system or IE7 under XP system, because of his security awareness is greatly improved, the filtering of illegal sites and secure encrypted sites is more demanding, so access to https encrypted website under SSL protocol under IE7 There will be a failure. Today we will solve this problem step by step.

First, the XP system IE7 visit https site troubleshooting sina:

https encryption by default we visit the site will be a "this site through XP version of IE7 browser under the XP system There is a problem with the security certificate. The security certificate provided by the website is not issued by the trusted certificate method organization. The security certificate question may indicate that you are trying to deceive you or intercept the data you sent to the server." We must click "Continue to browse this website again" ( Not recommended)" to view page information. (Figure 1)


Figure 1

So how to solve this problem? After all, every time you visit the Https site, you need to repeat the "Continue to browse this website (not recommended)", which brings a lot of trouble in operation. Below we will solve this problem by installing the certificate step.

Step 1: When we use IE7 to browse the Https site, a red "Certificate Error" prompt will appear on the right side of the address bar. We will click the red button and select "View Certificate". (FIG. 2)


FIG. Step 2: In the "view certificate" window "Certificate Installation" button in the lower right corner point "General" tab. (FIG. 3)

third step: after the "Certificate Import Wizard" "Next" button to continue.

Step 4: Select the certificate storage area of ​​the system, through the "browse" button to set the Store certificate to "Trusted Root Certification Authorities." (FIG. 4)

Fifth Step: After selecting the security alert window "Yes" button to install the certificate.

Step 6: After setting up, we will visit the https site again without any problems, and there will be no more problems with the security certificate of this website. The security certificate provided by the website is not trusted. The certificate method issued by the agency, the security certificate issue may show an error message stating to try to spoof you or intercept the data you sent to the server. Second, IE7 under Vista, visit https site troubleshooting sina:

use IE7 browser in Vista, visit https site will also appear "site's security certificate in question, the site's security certificate is not provided by the The certificate issued by the Trusted Certificate Authority may display an error message stating that you are trying to spoof or intercept the data you sent to the server, but his resolution is quite different from IE7 under XP. This is because there is no prompt for installation in the IE7 access https certificate view in the Vista system. The error message says "The CA root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the trusted root certificate authority store."

So how to solve it? So far I have not found that this problem can be solved by adjusting the settings of the IE7 browser, but it can be solved by certificate import.

Step 1: First open the IE7 browser, then open the property settings window via "Tools -> Internet Options", and select the "Content" tab, directly click the "Certificate" tab.

Step 2: Select the Trusted Root Certification Authority when selecting the type of certificate to install, then click the Import button in the lower left corner. (Figure 5) //This article comes from computer hardware and software applications network www.45it.com reproduced please specify

Third step: Then you need us The certificate file for the website is found in the "Files to import" settings window. As for how to obtain this certificate file, the author's method is to export the certificate corresponding to the website in the form of a file in another browser (for example, IE 6 or XP system IE 7), and then return to the Vista system for import. This file is fine. (FIG. 6)

Step IV: As in the method described above and at the certificate store settings, select all certificates in the following store -- Trusted root certification authority.

Step 5: Click the "Yes" button in the window where the certificate is installed.

Step Six: After all the work will be completed successfully imported the prompt, then we'll visit https encrypted site above error will not occur suggests.

Tip: If you modify the settings of the problem is still not resolved, then we should also options in the internet browser IE senior label "Use SSL 2.0" check, because IE7 by default to SSL 2.0 The protocol is filtered out, and if the https website happens to be accessible only using the SSL 2.0 protocol, an error message will appear. (FIG. 7)

three, 7 under IE HTTPS access site troubleshooting sina:

and after experiments summarized I found that accessing HTTPS sites in IE 7 does have one or more problems, as shown below.

(1) SSL 2.0 is not turned on and error:

phenomenon: When browsing a site only SSLv2, an error page.

Reason: The SSLv2 protocol is turned off by default in Internet Explorer 7. The SSLv2 protocol has known security issues and has been replaced by the SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols.

solution: turn SSL 2.0 in IE 7 senior property tag, let the browser supports this protocol. (Figure 8)



Figure 8 (2) https site using a weak password authentication password:

phenomenon: a browser on Windows Vista is configured to use weak passwords When an HTTPS site (40-bit/56-bit encryption) is displayed, an error page is displayed.

Reason: In Windows Vista, weak passwords have been turned off by default, only strong passwords are turned on.

Solution: For visitors there is no solution but to wait for the https site administrators modify the authentication using weak passwords.

(3) Site certificate error:

Symptom: When browsing an HTTPS site that displays a security certificate containing the error, an error page is displayed.

Reason: To improve security and user experience, IE7 blocked access to HTTPS sites that display security certificates that contain errors. This change replaces the dialog that appears in IE6.

Solution: If the site's certificate has expired, there is no treatment. Contact the owner of the site and ask them to update the certificate.

(4) https page introduces http page information:

Phenomenon: When browsing a page containing HTTPS and HTTP mixed content, an information bar appears instead of Internet Explorer 6 or earlier. The dialog box that appears in .

Reason: In order to improve security and user experience, IE7 prevents HTTP content from being displayed on HTTPS pages by default. This change replaces the dialog that appears in IE6.

Solution: "safe" internet options of the browser tab, select the internet icon, then "Custom Level", scroll down to the Miscellaneous section, the value adjustment Display mixed content settings.

(5) Invalid certificate error:

Symptom: When browsing an HTTPS site on Windows Vista, a check for certificate revocation appears to determine if the certificate is still valid.

reasons: to improve the performance of Windows Vista, make and support for OCSP protocol by default on the withdrawal of checks, making IE7 on Vista Windows security has improved.

Solution: If the problem is affecting the performance of the actual environmental problems, you can turn off the option to withdraw the certificate. Remove the checkmark in front of it by checking "Check for server certificate revocation" under "Security" in the "Advanced" tab of the internet option.
