[Freeipa-users] Complaint web browsers

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

Im trying to get a PoC (proof of concept) off the ground so I have to submit a business case.....which as a techy is very hard....

:/

So IE "bugs"  is something for the hopefully not to distant future.

Its also not just Uni's Ive worked in several organisations who are also quite bad.....in fact Uni's tend to be more open in that Firefox is allowed to be installed.....

regards

I sympathize I have been an admin and a consultant at Universities in
the distant past.

Please file bugs you encounter with IE and we will see if we can help
you out, but I cannot promise IE will work perfectly in the immediate
future.
