Clear Browser Cache/Temporary Internet Files and Cookies
[Pages:8]Clear Browser Cache/Temporary Internet Files and Cookies _________________
If you are having problems connecting or you receive errors working in Stony Brook's Work-at-Home VPN, PeopleSoft, SOLAR or other web-based campus applications you may need to clear the cache/temporary Internet files and cookies on your web browser. This is always a requirement after a system upgrade.
Why?
In order to speed up web browsing, browsers are designed to download web pages and store them on your computer in an area called the cache. When you visit the same page for a second time, the browser speeds up the display time by loading the pages locally from the cache instead of downloading everything again. This sometimes results in less than current versions of web pages being displayed, along with problems on registration and authentication pages.
Websites also send small text files known as cookies to your web browser in order to store information about your connection to their server, authentication information, preferences, etc. Cookies are particularly useful when you want a website to auto-sign you into a web service, but like the cache, may need to be deleted after a system upgrade.
Note: Keep in mind that after doing the above any authenticated sites you use will not remember you the next time you return.
