Programs and Services that Use SSL or SSPI May Not Work After You Install Internet Explorer 5.01 (247367)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 for Windows NT 4.0
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 for Windows 98
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 for Windows 95
  • Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q247367

SYMPTOMS

Programs and services that use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) may not function when Internet Explorer 5.01 is installed.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the released version of Internet Explorer 5.01 contains a version of the Schannel.dll file with an incorrect internal key.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, apply Q247367.exe to install a version of the Schannel.dll file with the correct key. You can download Q247367.exe from the following Microsoft Web site:

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

After you install a certificate in Internet Information Server (IIS) to allow secure access, connection attempts using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) are unsuccessful and the following error message may be displayed:

Internet Explorer 4.x

The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response

Internet Explorer 5.x

Cannot find server or DNS Error
The following file is updated by Q247367.exe: 
   File name     Size     Date         Version         Platform
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   Schannel.dll  154,896  12/03/1999   4.86.1959.1877  x86
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a 128-bit encryption is not affected by this behavior because it includes a copy of the Schannel.dll file, which contains the correct key and is a later version (4.87.1959.1877).
