Juniper say that IE8 is supported since 6.4 and it seem to work fine for existent client but we have a lot of problems with new user that have never connected to the box. I was wondering if someone else have had thoses kind of problems.
When a existent user (xp sp3) upgrade from IE7 to IE8, the activeX are automaticaly transfert and activate on to IE8 so there's no problems.
When a new user who never use the box before (xp or vista) try to enter with IE8. It doesn't work even if java is install and fonctionnal.
- In vista I've got as far as an java error message but was not able to enter at all.
- In XP, the page hang after only a couple of seconds.
Here's the workaroud that I have found (but this is not a long term solution).
1- Put the adresse of the SSL box into the "local intranet" sites of IE8
2- Load the web site. (the activeX will be uploaded and only if your an administrator)
3- Go to add-on manage page an activate juniper activeX
4- Remove the site from the "local intranet" sites
This workaround seems to work but you're absolutely need to be an administrator of the workstation. Since most of my users aren't........
I did the test with XP SP3 (french) and vista SP2 (french) on both ive 6.4R2 and 6.5R1 with the same results.
Someone as a clue?
