If Safari is anything like Firefox, it doesn't use the Windows Certificate Store, so Trusted Root Authorities for example that are installed in Windows like an AD CA root cert won't appear as trusted in Safari. Possibly it has its own store that you must manually trust the site into?
From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2011 4:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Safari browser issue On a webpage using Safari for Windows (latest version), users get the following pop-up request when clicking on a link The same link works without any issues or pop-ups in IE, Chrome and Firefox. Any ideas why? I'd love to say "just use something else", but this is apparently from a member of the public trying to access something on a government website. I'm assuming that a certificate needs installing, but as to why it doesn't offer one to be installed, or why other browsers just glide past this problem, is kinda confusing. I have made sure that all the patches are up-to-date on the client machine. Google threw me up a user with a similar issue ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2243883 ) but no resolution....anyone have any guidance to offer? TIA, JRR -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
