Problems Logging In To The VLE Using Internet Explorer 7

The ST Gregory's Catholic High School Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) uses a secure log on system. Part of this system requires you to have downloaded and installed the web sites certificate. If you have not done this you will see a variety of error messages.

To download the Certificate and install it please follow the instructions below.

 

In Internet Explorer 7, you may get an error when connecting to the VLE and so you cannot get to the download certificate link as shown on the following  image.

If you get this error then click on the cream coloured message bar just above the yellow St Gregorys Logo and choose Display Blocked Content.

You should then be prompted to log on to the VLE.

Log on using the username and password that you use in school on the school PCs.

This will log you on to the VLE and allow the access to the download certificate link at the bottom of the light blue area under Help.

 

 

You now need to click on Download Certificate.

In some cases you may get the following error, which is caused because you have a setting that needs to be changed in IE7.

 

To fix this setting, click on tools and in the menu that appears click on internet options.

 

This will open the internet options window.

Click on the Advanced tab and scroll down to the security section.

Here you will find an option called
 Do not save encrypted pages to disk.

 

 

This box needs to have a tick in it, so click the box to put a tick in and click on ok at the bottom if the internet options window to save the changes.

You now need to try and download the certificate again by clicking on the  Download Certificate text on the VLE page.


When prompted, click on save to save the certificate.

 

The default location is fine as this is only stored temporarily while you install the certificate.

Click on Save.

After the download of the certificate is complete, you are prompted to open the certificate.

Click on open.

The Certificate will now open.

Click on Install Certificate.

The Install Certificate wizard will now start.

Follow the install certificate wizard using all default settings and on completion of the wizard the certificate will have been downloaded and installed.

The error should not occur any more.
