Internet Explorer 11- issue with security certificate error prompt

Question

I am testing a website in IE11. It has mixed content (http and https). In previous versions, there is a prompt which asks which we should allow the content with security certificate error. However no such prompt is displayed in IE11 and the site breaks. I tried changing the security settings in Advanced Options but it was of no use. Pls advice..

Answer 1

This behavior is related to Zone that is set - Internet/Intranet/etc and corresponding Security Level

You can change this by setting less secure Security Level (not recommended) or by customizing Display Mixed Content property

You can do that by following steps:

1. Click on Gear icon at the top of the browser window.
2. Select Internet Options.
3. Select the Security tab at the top.
4. Click the Custom Level... button.
5. Scroll about halfway down to the Miscellaneous heading (denoted by a "blank page" icon).
6. Under this heading is the option Display Mixed Content; set this to Enable/Prompt.
7. Click OK, then Yes when prompted to confirm the change, then OK to close the Options window.
8. Close and restart the browser.
