You will get a pop-up. Make sure you are only using Internet Explorer versions 10 or 11.

Australian, Canadian, and Public sectors may have different log-on URLs.
4. Click "Settings" on this "General" tab. Set the "Check for newer versions of stored pages:" to "Every time I visit the webpage."
5. Exit the smallest pop-up. Then navigate to the second tab, "Security." Here you will click "Trusted Sites" then "Sites." If you are unable to click on "Sites," you may need to contact your IT administrator to allow access.
