IE 8.0 RC1 https access problem

Kartal · 03-19-2009, 08:18 AM

Greetings all,
I am running the IE 8.0.6001.18372 RC1 and having problem accessing a certain HTTPS site which is a Cisco CSA management console access. I do not have a problem accessing to other HTTPS sites on the net.
I can access the same site from IE 7.0 just fine.

Cisco CSAMC runs on one of the inside domain member servers and it has own certificate, normally if you are accessing for the first time you will be prompted with a standard IE page "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" but once you proceed to the web site with "Continue to this website (not recommended)." you will be at the CSAMC login page which you can download and install the certificate and after that point you will no longer be prompted for security certificate issue. This process works fine from any PC accessing with IE 7.0.

I have tried the same thing from IE 8.0 and just as expected at first I am prompted with "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" and when I do proceed with "Continue to this website (not recommended)." I am getting “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”.
I have tried installing the certificate manually but it doesn’t seem to help at all. I was wondering if there is way around this issue or am I missing something.

Any lead would be appreciated.
Thank you

Update:
This issue has been resolved after the IE 8.0 update which was released recently.
