Issue/Introduction

In 15.8 you can get the Safari browser to work by changing the following setting in the manager.properties file to "true":

# Used for toggling the ability to enter Unsupported Browsers (i.e Chrome / Safari)
com.vontu.manager.unsupported_browser_authentication = false

 

In 16.x that setting no longer works.
Whether the setting is "false" or "true" the user will see the unsupported browser message when opening any of the console pages that use Angular.

Resolution

In 16.x the Enforce console was changed to make use of Angular to write the web pages.
This causes Safari to fail to open any of the pages that now use Angular.
The "com.vontu.manager.unsupported_browser_authentication" setting is no longer valid for Safari.

We support Chrome and Firefox on the Mac to access the Enforce Console.
