SSL Technology and how you benefit from it
EagleDOCS realizes how important security is to you, so we've
taken a number of steps to enhance the protection of personal or confidential
information sent to or from EagleDOCS over the Internet. First, we require that
a "secure session" be established, using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Technology.
This is done any time you supply or access personal or confidential information
in one of our secure online areas. SSL technology creates a private
conversation that only your computer and EagleDOCS systems can understand. The
SSL technology encodes information as it is being sent over the Internet
between your computer and EagleDOCS systems, helping to ensure that the
transmitted information remains confidential. The use of SSL requires two
components: an SSL-compatible browser and a Web server to perform the
"key-exchange" that establishes a secure connection to EagleDOCS Web server
systems.
Technological requirements to utilitize SSL
A Compliant Browser
You will need a browser with SSL capabilities. Examples of SSL browsers include
Microsoft's Internet Explorer 2.0 and above and Netscape 2.0 and above. (Note
that some older versions of browsers will not support SSL sessions). If you
don't already have a browser with SSL capabilities, you can download an SSL
browser from any of the links below.
- Internet Explorer
-
Netscape Navigator
In order to securely access your personal or confidential
information via the Internet, we recommend you use the latest browser versions
available. Accessing secure online areas with Netscape versions before 1.22 is
prohibited due to security concerns.
A Compliant Internet Service Provider
Nearly all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) automatically enable the SSL
session described above. If you use your company's internal connection to
access the Internet and you find you cannot access the EagleDOCS secure pages
with an SSL browser described above, your company may be blocking access via a
"firewall." Please speak to your firm's Internet access systems administrator
for further details on your network's Internet access.
Enabled Cookies
You also must have enabled cookies on your browser in order to access
confidential information. If you have chosen to disable cookies on your
browser, you will not be able to access confidential information.
User ID and Password
Many areas of the site require the use of a User ID and
Password as an additional security measure that helps protect your confidential
information. This allows EagleDOCS to verify who you are, thereby allowing you
access to the Online OrderDOCS system, and preventing unauthorized access. When
you have finished using a secure area of EagleDOCS Online Services, make sure
you always click on the "Log Out" link which appears on the upper right-hand
side of every secure page. When you click on it, you will be given the option
to end your secure session. No further secure transactions can be conducted
without re-entering your User ID and Password. You should be aware that browser
software often "caches" a page as you look at it, meaning that some pages are
saved in your computer's temporary memory. Therefore, you may find that
clicking on your "Back" button shows you a saved version of a previously viewed
page. Caching in no way affects the security of your confidential User ID or
Password. If you use a computer in a public place to access your account
information, simply quit/exit the browser software before leaving to minimize
the possibility of anyone else viewing your confidential information.
