Safari on Windows with corporate proxy

[GingerPrince]

Hi,

ok, so. I'm behind a corporate proxy that I have no control over.

firefox + IE play nice with the proxy. safari does not. safari uses the same settings as IE but for some reason doesn't pass through the user/password + so my account keeps getting locked out.

For the record: There is no problem with the proxy. There is no problem with my account at the proxy. Safari uses the IE settings and IE works fine with the proxy. The problem is Safari.

anybody know a way round this problem?

cheers,
Matt

Not sure. You may want to try to open (and leave open) IE first, then try Safari. That may trick the proxy but I doubt it. Other than that, Apple's going to have to fix it/add that function to the next browser update.

tried that but it didn't work.

Safari has always done this on windows, it's not peculiar to Safari 4.

do you know if the proxy allows safari?

try changing your user agent to IE to check.

safari 4 with proxy

Hi, someone knows if safari 4, or Safari beta manages proxy settings by his own and not from IE?

Thx.

I have this exact same problem. I'm using Safari 3 and every time I open it, it causes my AD account to lock. Strangely I can still access Internet sites via Firefox but not IE or Safari. It's a real nuisance as I'm web developer so have to test sites in various browsers using this PC on our network. Surely there's a fix for this??!

Hi All,

I found this on

Here is the fixed and it worked for me:

Deleted the keychain.plist file under c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Preferences. The next time you opened Safari, it prompted for a Username & Password to the proxy.
