Not so much of a "Supporting Safari" issue but rather non-standard
approaches in AKO's HTML and Javascript.
The approach from the contractors is that they support Internet
Explorer on Windows, not HTML/JavaScript standards. :-( I was flatly
told this on multiple occasions while bringing bugs illuminated by
Safari to the developer's attention. I also differentiated between
standards adherance problems vs Safari bugs but it did not matter.
Dont get me wrong, the Appian folks are family. The unfortunate case
is that they have to follow the contract and anything extra is a
liability to their performance metrics. The contract needs to be
written that the portal should be developed to W3C standards for HTML,
JavaScript and allowances for bugs in popular browsers (IE, FireFox
and Safari). If they don't do that, even Section 508 is a major
challenge as Section 508 compliance is essentially the 4th browser
(Braille systems interpret HTML...)
And just FYI, FireFox commonly adheres to Microsoft abborations of the
standards where they have to choose to do something either the
standard conforming way or the Microsoft way. They do this to be able
to appear to work as well as IE does on sites that taylor themselves
to MS IE operations.

No version of Safari is supported by AKO. And yes, there are a

Anyone else having problems with AKO/DKO using Safari 4?
It would be A Good Thing for Apple to check out why things seem to
work OK on Firefox but not Safari 4. If this represents standards
problems within Safari 4, Apple should address them. If it
represents non-conformance or use of extensions by AKO/DKO, that's
something that should be fed back to the Army AKO PM.
All I know is that I got a "time to change your password" message
today, and was unable to get the password change form to come up
under Safari 4 (but it worked just fine in Firefox.)
