[QUOTE="BrightWolf, post: 921672, member: 101349"] SOLVED: Determined that Parental Controls was enabled but not configured for the non-admin user. Disabled Parental Controls and that fixed the problem after logging out and back on. Credits to stottmj. Link to the original article: [url=http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-27458.html]Safari secure connection [Archive] - The macosxhints Forums[/url] Very hard to find a solution to this nasty problem. Nobody answering my questions. Found many similar questions from other people having the same problem, their problems also remained unanswered. I really really don't know why parental controls should have anything to do with access to encrypted sites. The only thing I can think of is, because it is encrypted it cannot determine the contents and thus decides to not show it, as a sort of safety default? I don't know a lot about encryption technologies, but if that's the reason I would appreciate Safari to provide a more clear / the correct error message on the screen. Anybody who can shed a bit of light on this question? Also, this solution isn't really a solution but merely a workaround for anybody needing parentals controls... [/QUOTE]
