How do I stop the "attempted to access these secure websites" popup with parental controls enabled?

This makes parental controls almost unusable. Nearly every website tries to access numerous other domains that are not in my whitelist. Is there any way to just stop all prompts to add items to the whitelist? It could remain static and just block everything and I'd be happy (kind of thought that was the purpose of parental controls and whitelisting to begin with). Young kids have no idea what to do with these windows popping up.
Thanks!

I imagine it would prompt for an admin account and then if I authenticated it would be added to the white list and that specific site would then receive requests (e.g. not prompt again); however...
a) that would only stop prompting for that specific site and this issue would recur with each request to a new domain that occurs down the line
b) the point of parental controls is that I want to allow my child relatively unsupervised access to the system, that would require I be in the vicinity to authenticate and add each new request
c) there are likely domains that I would NOT want whitelisted just due to some background request (ad networks, large domains that may otherwise serve up inappropriate content, etc...).
I think I get where you are coming from (and not trying to shoot the messenger here) I just think that teaching them to agree to the message would not be a good solution. This seems to be a pretty big gap in Apple's implementation and apparantly can only be addressed by them.
Thank you!

Webprocess attempted to access these secure websites:

We just updtated to Lion. When my children who have parental controled user profiles attempt to visit public websites, several options, not included in thier search come up, for example, https://platform.twiter.com; or https://ssl.gstatic.com; a parent controle password is requested to access them even though they have nothing to do with thier intitial search. Why is this happening every time? What does it mean, what is the fix.

Hi, I don't know if it might still be the https bug for managrd accounts.

"Safari attempted to access a secure website..." after 10.8.2

I upgraded to 10.8.2 this afternoon and now my son's parental controled account is broken. Whenever he tries to access a web page via Safari (or Chrome) he gets a message stating "Safari attempted to access a secure website..." I haven't changed anything on his account - it worked fine before the upgrade, so I assume 10.8.2 caused the problem.
I do have Parental Controls on his account, but web browsing is set to Unlimitied Access.
Please Help!

Still experimenting, but I think I may have solved the problem. Try this:
Log out of the account with Parental Controls enabled.
Log into an account with administrative priveleges
Go to System Preferences | Parental Controls
Click the padlock and authenticate with the administrator's credentials
Click on the account with the Parental Controls enabled
Turn off Parental Controls for that account
Log out of the administrative account
Log in to the account that had Parental Controls enabled
Try browsing to see if any error messages appear (none should)
Log out of the account
Log back into the account with administrative priveleges
Follow the same process as earlier to find the account that should have Parental Controls enabled and enable restrictions accordingly; ensure under the Web tab that "Allow unrestricted access to websites" is enabled (if that's the setting you wish the account to have... which in my case, it is)
Log out of the administrative account
Log in to the account that has Parental Controls enabled
Try browsing to see if any error messages appear (none should)
This has worked for me on one of the six workstations I'm administering. I'll have the opportunity to test the remaining 5 in a few minutes.

You have attempted to access a secure page without the appropriate authorization. I have used this website every week and today received this error message. I can access it with Internet Explorer.

I received an error message after attempting to log in to a website. Access prohibited. You have attempted to access a secure page without the appropriate authorization.
I access this website at least twice a week and now I get this error message. I am able to access this website through Internet Explorer. Is there something I can do to fix this problem, so I can use Firefox?

Maybe:

I can't access this secure website with the new fireforx upgrade but I could before the upgrade.

As above. What can I say-I have tried everything listed on the support forum website. I had no problem accessing this secure website, which is my work email, before I upgraded to Firefox 4.0. I would prefer not have to go back to the previous version if possible. I don't like IE because it is just too slow, but right now I have to use it to access this website. I have windows firewall and have allowed firefox.exe as an exception. Any suggestions as this is very frustrating. Thanks

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

I am using the wrong language to access a secure website. How can I change it to English?

I am trying to access my university account from a computer in Germany and while I can access some features, such as e-mail, it is not allowing me access to my secure faculty account. The message I am getting is that I am using the wrong language, i.e. German, to access my account. How can I change the language to English, since the computer automatically uses German.

Put the link of the website into Google translate at [http://translate.google.com/#de|en|], then click the translate button. You will then get a link on the right hand side of the page which will take you to a translated version of the page.

Accessing a secure website

With upgrade to Firefox 4, it can't access my work webpage remotely like I could with Firefox 3.6. It is giving me a message "Secure connection failed, renegotiation is not allowed on this SSL socket"

You can contact that website and ask them to correct this problem.
You can add a domain to the string value of the pref security.ssl.renego_unrestricted_hosts to allow that domain.
See:
*https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security:Renegotiation#security.ssl.renego_unrestricted_hosts
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filer bar at the top of that page to locate the pref. 
You can double click the pref to open the Modify dialog and paste the domain in the value field.

Error when trying to access a secure website.

load: class oracle.forms.engine.Main not found.
Java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.forms.engine.Main
Obviously this is just part of what is shown in the java console, but I was hoping that this might be enough.
I am trying to access a website and when I get to where the java applet should load, it fails. The error above is what is shown in the java console after it fails.
Java 1.4.2 is the version I am running, and I have installed a JBuilder Oracle plugin v9.0.
I was wondering if there is another plugin that I am missing that will fix this error.
Thanks

I am having the same problem with my network user ID account. However when I login with local Admin account, I can access the site with no problems. I added the network user ID to the Local Admin group. I am still having the same problem. Please let me know if you find a solution.

Safari crashes when accessing secure websites

Hi, all you Discussion-eers!
I downloaded the new Safari for Windows Beta today, since I thought that it would be really neat to have the opportunity to actually use that nice web browser on a Windows platform.
It can successfully launch and load a good deal of websites for me.
What isn't working quite so well, however, is accessing secure pages, like logging into the Discussions, or logging into accounts on other websites.
When I attempt to access any secure website, it either:
- Promptly closes the browser on its own, without any errors
- "Encounters a problem and needs to close"
- Completely freezes up while loading the page, to the point where I cannot close the program by clicking the "x" on the program window. (I must end it through Task Manager)
- Displays this error message when attempting to load the webpage.
I have tried completely deleting all program/installer files off the computer (hopefully, at least), and installing another copy of SafariSetup, as well as restarting, to no avail.
Any ideas as to what's causing this? I currently use IE (Internet Explorer) 6 for accessing websites.
If you need, I'd be happy to provide any other info about my issue that might help.
Thanks in advance!
-Kylene

Good to know it's not just me than. Started happening to me at the same time as everyone else too. Did the usual: messed about with Safaris preferences files, reset Safari, repaired permissions, installed latest (for my system) security update 2007-008, restarted and then repaired permissions again and voila.....still crashing.
Old youtube pages in Safrari history still loaded but couldn't navigate from them.
Using Firefox now which seems to be fine.
Would be intersting to know what's happened though.

Having trouble accessing secure websites...

This is the error message I keep getting everytime I try to access a secure website:
Safari cant open the page
https://www.audible.com/adbl/site/login.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes
because it couldnt establish a secure connection to the server www.audible.com.
It seemed to happen overnight and the only thing I can remember doing was upgrading iTunes and Quicktime the other day. Help! I've tried looking in the discussion boards and am at the point where I'm going to bring my Powerbook G4 into the Mac Genius' at my local store. Any suggestions? Is this even a safari thing?

Michael,
I have had the same problem last week and found the my solution here in Apple Disscusions somewhere. I should probably start bookmarking because I can never seem to find the discussion again for later reference.
My solution:
Trash the file named "System.Keychain" in Library/Keychains/ folder;
Restart your computer.
Your computer will generate a new System.Keychain. Worked for me.
Hope this works for you.

Cannot download secure websites after upgrading. (had to register using IE)

I was having a lot of problems with secure websites, getting messages that secure connection failed. Finally got message to upgrade to latest version to solve the problem. Now I cannot access 'any secure website ( banking, credit card, store checkouts, etc.) The message shown is that connection was reset.

Firefox 10 and Thunderbird 10 both seem to behave differently with firewalls. It is a big advantage to have a firewall that will ask what to do if it has no rule to cover a situation. Mine asked me if Firefox was permitted to use port 443 (https).

With this latest update (on 4/10/15) I am unable to access a secured work website due to the TLS. How do I revert back to the previous settings?

I need to revert the security settings back to the way they were BEFORE the update because now I am unable to access my secured work website (that I was on yesterday) to actually do work. When I attempt to go to my log-in page I get the following message:
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to corect.ct.gov:10000 was interrupted while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
It doesn't even give me the option to allow the site (it is my computer after all, it should be my choice). I NEED TO GET TO THIS WEBSITE.

The website may try to fallback to TLS 1.0 in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
*security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the domain (corect.ct.gov) to this pref.
If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces).
You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.

I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and since the "lock" icon never appears when accessing secure websites, where should I look for it?

I just recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and now the "lock" icon doesn't appear anywhere (I can find) when accessing secure websites. I haven't seen it once. It used to appear in the lower right corner of the screen. I also have Norton Internet Security.

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:
