Correcting Security Certificate Issues with Internet Explorer 7

Recent changes to Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 may cause certain secure pages in our web site and login scripts to receive Security Certificate Errors. In most cases, these errors refer to an invalid, mismatched or expired certificate. Under normal circumstances you should not ignore such errors when displayed as they may be a sign of a dangerous website.

However, when accessing the official web site of BartenderGirl, Inc (www.bartendergirl.com) or company resources you can safely ignore such prompts and errors.  Remember all the resources will be under our web site:  Example: 

http://www.bartendergirl.com/elearning/
http://bartendergirl.com
http://www.bartendergirl.com
https://www.bartendergirl.com

This issue has recently caused the e-learning login page, and our reservation page to work incorrectly. It has also caused some staff and clients to get stuck in an endless loop of pop-up boxes when signing in or login out of e-learning Access.

To correct both of these issues, please follow the instructions below.
