GSA has alerted us that, following their quarterly release on October 28th, they will block users from accessing SAM from an Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) or Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) browser. Users will either need to upgrade to a version of IE9 or higher, or access SAM with another supported browser type (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc). This change is pursuant to a Microsoft announcement last January that only the most current version of Internet Explorer will receive technical support and security updates. A very small number of SAM users actually access SAM with these older browsers—primarily smaller organizations that lack an IT department to keep them up to date—but we just want to make sure no one is caught off-guard.
