I have a Weblogic server installed and a site. The SSL port is 7002 When I try to access a secure page ex https://localhost:7002/site in Internet Explorer I get a certificate error. Clicking the continue to website does not do anything. In chrome, I get the opton to "Ignore Anyway" and I can continue to see the page. But in Internet explorer I having no such luck. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am using the default certificates that come wih weblogic installation. I have not generated any private keys or certificates.

Any help appreciated.

The problem is with a recent Windows security update that blocks any site with less than 1024-bit SSL key. WebLogic out of the box comes with 512-bit self signed certificate. If you create your own self-signed identity and key stores with 2048-bit keys the problem will go away.
