Website with Https does not work on IE 8 - https

I recently moved by site to https and i have many users from xp and ie8.
Just noticed website with https not working as per screenshot below:
AS per my research on similar topics:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968089
Microsoft says, you cannot view the site until you make some changes into your browsers, which is not possible to explain to every user who has IE browser.
Similarly, when i view Google on ie8 it works fine, so any one guide me what is the solution?
any help would be appreciated.

Custom domain redirecting to index.html in firebase

So I just linked my custom domain with firebase and it shows connected:
image of connected status
which is great. But now when I search website without /index.html, it redirects me to this page. I want to see this page which is accessible only when I append website domain with /index.html. I am new to firebase. How can I make my domain access index.html page without specifically mentioning /index.html?
EDIT: I just noticed that it's working fine on the mobile devices and in the incognito tab on PC. It must be something with my chrome browser I am logged in with. which is weird :/ should I change the title? Cause I think fault could be related to browser. but help me if you can.
So the real issue wasn't the configuration but the browser cache. if you are facing similar issues then try clearing the browser cache or try browsing the website on a different device. Spent literally 1-2 hrs on such a silly problem. Either way, thank you.

okta - not working in Production for Edge and IE only

I have an odd okta issue.
I have a old Web Forms app that I am integrating with okta.
The problem is after I login using okta, okta navigates the app to https://domain/authorization-code/callback. This is the value in the address bar of the browser. The app is not automating navigating to the call back page (my default.aspx page). See screen shot below.
Here is what is really confusing, this issue only happens in Production and in browsers: Edge and IE. For Production, everything works fine using Chrome. (After I log in, I am navigated to my default.aspx page).
Additionally what is confusing is everything also works fine in Dev, QA and UAT using Chrome, Edge and IE.
This issue only occurs in Production, using Edge or IE.
I assume it is not a browser issue / setting since it works fine in the other environments. Plus I assume it is not a server side setting since it work fine in Chrome in Production.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Plus suggestions in how to debug. I am trying to use the Network tab of the Developer Tools, but I not having much luck.
Thanks
We fixed this problem, months ago. It was because Production is https and QA and UAT were http. I updated the urls in the General tab inside okta to https and everything started working.

Why does my Linkedin share button not work?

I want to create a share button for Linkedin, the GUI button is all set up, but it doesn't work when clicking it. I researched a bit and came to the conclusion that using the same sharing mechanism, other sites work but mine doesn't.
I narrowed the problem down and now I'm trying to figure out why google.com works but my site doesn't. I don't use my real company website because it's personal information, but it's a website that has been on the internet for more than 10 years (in case this information is useful). When I go to the links, my website throws an error, but Google works fine.
Ⓧ https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share/?url=https://www.my-company-website.com
〇 https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share/?url=https://www.google.com
Is there any pre-requisite I'm missing, which makes my site not work?
I realized my server was blocking Linkedin (to reduce traffic from Linkedin bots). That's why it wasn't working.
As hint: I was working on closed webpage (for outside users) and that also causing problems with Linkedin share button.
Hint 2: Website uses Lets Encrypt! SSL and information mentioned here is a fake news https://wordpress.org/support/topic/linkedin-share-button-not-working-3/ Work's fine!
If you ever get stuck on trying to figure out why your page simply doesn't populate nice preview data on your LinkedIn share page, then check out the LinkedIn Post Inspector.
Insert the URL of your page (i.e., example.com), not the URL you are using to share (i.e., linkedin.com/share?url=example.com). You'll get detailed information on how your site will appear and why, like, for instance, sharing wikipedia.org...
Hope this helps someone else with a LinkedIn share issue!

SignalR across domains

I'm trying to get a basic sample across domains working, but I just cannot get it to work. According to someone here https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/issues/6 he got it to work by adding a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.
Basically, I've added a hub to an mvc 3 application, added the above header in the web.config, and created a page to send a message. This setup works fine.
Next, I've created a different web application using the same client javascript on a page, but setting the url to a different server using:
$.connection.hub.url = 'http://www.myserver.com/signalr';
As soon as I use a remote url it stops working.
How can I get SignalR to work across domains?
Update:
Some added information, the above approach works for chrome and firefox, but IE9 is not liking it...
I got it working using a simple test project and Internet Explorer 9, but it wasn't easy and first I was hung on the same problems you described. I think you are almost there and you are only missing the following line in your JavaScript:
jQuery.support.cors = true;
which tells jQuery to do cross domain calls. Seems simple, but was really hard to find ;-)
I explained all the steps I did in a blog post since I didn't find any existing information on this topic so far.
Tell me if there are any more problems. I have a working test project running in Internet Explorer 9 which I can send you.

OWC does not work with IE8

I have a web page that is generated with Access 2003 and uses Office Web Components. It worked fine with IE6 and IE7 but does not work anymore with IE8.
Here are more details. I create an MSODSC component and a WSH object to get my ConnectionString in the registry. Then the Dropdown Lists are fed by a request to the database.
It works perfect with IE6 and IE7, works locally with IE8 but if the page is served by IIS to IE8, the drop down lists are empty.
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks

It was just a security issue. I had put my site in the confidence zone (according to the error message). I transfered it into intranet zone and it works perfect.
Here is how I solved - actually almost solved it. The help message was explaining me to put my pages into the "confidence zone" (I don't the actual name in english) but it was not working anyways. I then took my pages to the "local intranet" zone and it worked good. It is just a matter of security.
May that help.
