Configuring Internet Explorer HTTPS Settings This section tells users how to configure the recommended HTTPS security settings for Internet Explorer when operating CareLogic on Internet Explorer 8,

Web site addresses that start with HTTP send and receive unencrypted information. Site addresses that start with HTTPS addresses, like CareLogic, encrypt all information sent.

10 Configuring Internet Explorer HTTPS Settings This section tells users how to configure the recommended HTTPS security settings for Internet Explorer when operating CareLogic on Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10 & 11. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) has been the Internet standard for secure web traffic since SSL encrypts information sent between a computer s web browser and a web site s servers. Web site addresses that start with HTTP send and receive unencrypted information. Site addresses that start with HTTPS addresses, like CareLogic, encrypt all information sent. The need for a new type of security encryption arose when security flaws were discovered with the introduction of the POODLE virus in the latest version of SSL. Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the industry recommended best practice for encrypting data in transit and is the replacement protocol for SSL. To configure Internet Explorer HTTPS security settings when operating CareLogic on IE 8, 9, 10 and 11: 1. Launch Internet Explorer. 2. Navigate to Tools > Internet Options. The Internet Options window appears. The General tab is displayed. 3. Click the Advanced tab. 4. Scroll down to the end of the Settings list. Settings for SSL & TLS are listed here. 10 P a g e

11 5. Select Use TLS 1.0, Use TLS 1.1 and Use TLS 1.2 to enable all instances of TLS. Leave Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 selected, do not deselect the SSL settings. CareLogic will use TLS rather than SSL once TLS is enabled. 6. Click OK. The Internet Explorer Internet Options window closes and the Security Certificate settings are saved. IE8 only supports TLS 1.0. While this is compatible with CareLogic, your agency should consider upgrading to a more recent version of Internet Explorer. Once the Internet Explorer settings are updated, close and restart all Internet Explorer instances; you do not have to restart your computer. If you are not finished updating Internet Explorer settings, skip this step. The settings will be applied the next time Internet Explorer is launched. 11 P a g e
