[Macpartners] Safari 1.2 (support for Personal Certificates!!)

[Marshall Vale]

Hi Helen,

>Apple shipped Safari version 1.2 today (for OS 10.2 and 10.3), which 
>has support for Personal Certificates.

Safari 1.2 only supports Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). 10.2 (Jaguar) is 
not supported.

>Available for download at http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ 
>(and probably via Software Update, but I was too impatient to wait).

It is indeed available via Software Update.

Apple did not provide us with much of a window to test sites with the 
new Safari and we received minimal warning about its release (it was 
counted in minutes). However we have found a number of issues which 
we are working with them to resolve. These include:

Getting MIT CA certificate installed
- Follow the instructions at:  http://itinfo.mit.edu/article?id=6667

Getting certificates
- At the very last step, the page will stall on the "please stand 
by..." text even after the cert is downloaded and installed into the 
active keychain.
- A copy of the certifcate is left as a file on the desktop although 
it is not needed after that

ECAT vendors that do not work (failure reported when you click the 
MIT access URLs):
- Office Depot
- BOC Gasses
- GovConnection

Please report other MIT sites which have problems with Safari 1.2 and 
personal certificates via Casetracker as we are collecting them and 
working with Apple to resolve them.
