Some users may experience technical
difficulties when attempting to access HFS 2.0.
This is because of the higher level
of security inherent in the new version. The new
version uses 128-bit encryption whereas the previous
version used 40-bit. Most older browsers have the
40-bit encryption, but not the 128-bit.
HFS 2.0 is designed for and works
best with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or higher or
Netscape Navigator 4.7 or higher running on a PC.
Older versions of these browsers simply will not work
because their encryption strength is only 40-bit.
What Kind of Web Browser Am I
Using?
At the very top left of your default
browser window will be the page title. For instance,
Linn Area Credit Union’s home page has a title of
“Linn Area Credit Union”. Following the page title
will be the type of browser: either “Internet
Explorer” or “Netscape Navigator”.
Right below the page title and
browser type is a line of drop down menus labeled
File, Edit, View, etc..……… The last option will be
Help. Click the word Help, then click on About
(Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator). Among the
items listed in the window that appears will be your
browser version #. Remember, to view HFS 2.0 in
Internet Explorer you will have to have at least
version 5.0 and for Netscape Navigator you must have
version 4.7 or higher.
Special notes for Internet
Explorer users: It’s easy to see your encryption strength in
Internet Explorer. Right below your version # in the
“About Internet Explorer” window is a line that reads
Cipher Strength. It will read either 40-bit, 56-bit or
128-bit.
40-bit = Are you using Internet
Explorer 5?
If YES, scroll down to the Internet Explore 5 section
If NO, you must update your browser (see next
section).
56-bit = Is your operating system
Windows 2000?
If YES, scroll down to the Windows 2000 section.
If NO you must update your browser (see next section).
128 bit = You should be able to view
HFS 2.0.
