After Binding to AD, Safari gives keychain Problem

[muloman]

I have successfuly bound to my AD Server
It is running 2003 server.

When i log in an authenticate, i do not have problems.

Problems start appearing when i run Safari.

I get the keychain issue and i am forced to key in my previous password.

When i quit the app and launch it again, or even logout and login again , i get the same keychain issue

I have run Keychain first aid but i still face issues
Help!!

Slightly related to this, but I’d really like to understand more about Safari’s relationship with the keychain.

Here (we’re ADmitMac users…) we have a small wrinkle with login.keychain and Entourage2004 meaning after the first successful login of an AD user, we have to DELETE login.keychain and get Entourage’s setup process to recreate it (with the current user’s password, of course). I’ve never understood why this has to happen, as the user’s login password and Entourage password are identical.

Getting back to Safari; we also found that the choice of proxy here renders Safari unable to be used as, once again, we can’t get it to handle domain password changes, elegantly.

Two enduring niggles with AD and Mac OS X that I’d really like to understand more about!

I don’t have a complete fix but I can tell you that we simply go into Safari’s preferences and make sure all of the AutoFill tab boxes are unchecked. All Keychain issues vanished and we avoided the problems of our users consistently “forgetting” passwords to websites because their computer remembered them.

When I’m having users change passwords I tell them to first go to Keychain Access>File>Delete Keychain login.
Next a pop up window will open, click the radio button that says, “Delete References and Files”.
Once you this is done, open Safari go to an external page and then you can put in your new password when the message box request it.
