Microsoft IE 11 unable to access Web Site

If you or some of your patrons are unable to connect to a web site supporting the latest security with IE 11 on windows 7 or later, there is an easy fix, as documented in the Microsoft Technote 2851628

 

In general, IE 11 cannot distinguish the various security methods automatically like other browsers and need to be told to ignore SSL 2.0:

• Microsoft indicates this is an issue if both SSL 2.0 and TLS 1.2 are enabled as security options in IE 11
• The solution, they say, is to disable SSL 2.0 (which is normally disabled by default and is no longer supported by any commerce web site

If your customers ask, this may be their problem.
