TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS (IE AND FIREFOX)
INTERNET EXPLORER
Below some errors that might be experienced during installation. This section will give you
troubleshooting tips and resolutions to errors.
Security Protocol Failure
If you are presented with the Security Protocol error, please contact the support center and request that
your digital certificate codes are reset. Once new codes have been issued, the certificate should be reinstalled with these codes.
No Key pair
This error can occur on IE8, 9 and 10.
July 2014
If you are presented with this error, always ensure that the pop-up blocker has been turned off.
For IE8, 9 check the Compatibility View Settings and ensure that the Display all websites in
Compatibility View option is ticked.
July 2014
For IE10 check the Compatibility View Settings and ensure that the Display all websites in Compatibility
View and Download updated compatibility lists from Microsoft options are ticked:
Once all these settings have been fixed, please close your Internet Explorer. Re-open a brand new
session and re-install the codes you tried when you got the error.
1B6 Error:
When you click on Install Cert, before even inserting the digital cert codes, the 1B6 error appears.
Please click OK on the error and before proceeding with the installation, please click on the cream bar
that prompts the user to run the Add On.
July 2014
Select Run Add-on on ALL websites and click on Run
Click on Run
User can now continue with the installation.
1A8 Error:
This error will only appear, if the steps in the 1B6 error resolution above, is not followed. This will
happen once the codes have been inserted and the user clicks on Submit Request. User needs to now
click on Ok and then follow the steps as explain in the 1B6 error resolution.
July 2014
Certificate False/Certificate not presented:
If the user logs on to www.e4.co.za and the following error is displayed it could be that instead of
clicking Grant Permission the user clicked on Deny Permission. User needs to close the whole IE session
and login again but the user always need to select Grant permission.
July 2014
If the error occurs before the user even tries to select a certificate, it means the certificate is no longer
present on the pc. This could as a result of the user ticking the wrong option when they did the backup.
Please note that during the backup the user should NEVER tick “Delete the private key if the
export is successful” option.
Also to check if the certificate is present user needs to go to Tools/Internet Options/Content/Certificates
and ensure the certificate shows as valid under Personal. If the user cannot find the certificate they need
to then contact the Support Centre and request for a reset of codes. Please note resetting a code is
linked to a billing cost.
July 2014
If the user checks and finds that the certificate is present, but they get the Cert False error, the next
thing to check is the time and time zone on their pc. If the time and time zone displays incorrectly, it
might result in the time either reflecting as “expired” for the cert or that the cert is not yet valid. The
correct time zone for South Africa is (UCT+02:00) Harare, Pretoria
User goes to the date time on their desktop:
User now clicks on Change date and time settings to check that the Date, Time and Time Zone is
correct. If not, click on the Change date and time button or the Change time zone button to correct.
July 2014
The last option to do if the certificate is still not working, you can go to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced
and click on the Reset button (Resets Internet Explorer’s settings to their default condition). You need
to close your Internet Explorer session and re-open for the change to take effect. When you re-open and
is prompted to choose the settings, select the recommended settings.
This should only be done with authorization of your IT Department. e4 will not take
responsibility for any user doing this without confirming this with their IT Department as
resetting could affect settings for other applications. This to be used as the very last resort.
The other issue with the certificate false could be due to the date on the pc being wrong. Go to
Tools/Internet Options/Content/Certificates and view the Certificate. If the certificate has a red cross
and states the certificate has expired or is not yet valid, it is a clear indication that the date on the pc is
wrong. Correct the date and the certificate will then correctly authenticate.
July 2014
