128 bit Encryption

[STeve J.]

I have a W2k terminal server that is up to date on Windows
updates. When trying to access an SSL site, I am getting
the following error. "The page must be viewed with a high-
security Web browser. The page you are trying to view
requires the use of a Web browser configured for 128-bit
encryption."
The server is running IE 6.0.2800.1106 (sp1) with Cipher
Strength 128 bit.
I'm guessing their must be an IE setting that was changed,
but I cannot find one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Steve J.

At the top of the page - click help - about internet explorer.
Is your cipher-strength "128-bit" ?

Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section, and then
select the Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 options.
Click OK.

Have you deleted your temporary internet files since this problem

and "Cookie Control" to "medium" "Mobile Code Control" = Off

Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer" or contains
entries that are blocking access to the desired site.

HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the
desired site.

Cookie blocking software that are blocking "required" Cookies.

Sometimes a damaged index.dat file can cause this - this procedure will
delete the index.dat file which can't be deleted from windows - when you
reboot windows creates a new clean one.

Check the date and time on your computer ...if it's wrong, cookies will
not be accepted and you will not be able to log in to some sites.

IE5.0 began the 128-bit encription, although you could perform a partial

Hi Steve - This will be a bit duplicative of what Jan has pointed you to,
but there may be a couple of additional things you can try:


Go to start/run Type in: regsvr32 softpub.dll Press Enter or click OK
