- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] Apple releases Safari 5 and 4.1 with security updates
I've been using Google Chrome for the past couple of weeks (since the 5.0
final release). It gets the certificate selection bit right, and since it
uses the OS X smart card services, it doesn't interfere with other apps that
are trying to use a smart card at the same time (such as Entourage) the way
Firefox does. But Chrome doesn't seem to handle SSL renegotiation properly,
so some sites don't work; in those cases I'll still use Safari or Firefox.
Manual creation of Identity Preferences is discussed here:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/fed-talk/2008/Sep/msg00039.html
I don't think you can create them on a system-wide basis, and I don't think
it makes sense to do so. When you create an Identity Preference, it ties a
URL to a specific certificate, so each user would need their own Identity
Preference to tie the site to their certificate.
