Safari 3.1 – only one cert at a time
If you are have more than one client cert installed – hold back the Apple Safari update to 3.1. Otherwise all you will get when you try to access a secured resource is
Safari can’t open the page “https://someserver.com/page†because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “someserver.comâ€
For some reason Safari 3.1 does no longer show the dialog box
where you can select which client cert to present to the web
site. While you can manually create an identity preference
(right click in My Certificates in Keychain on Leopard)
it seems like you can only specify exact resources – which
is not really manageable. So if you (just as me) have been a
little to quick with the upgrade you might want to try
these instructions to downgrade to 3.0.4.
Update: this bug is still present in 3.1.1 (5525.18)
