Hi all,
We came across some weird behavior when testing HTML Remote Control, especially when the target is a MAC machine and the browser is Safari:
- Pick an authorized user and everything will be ok, user is logged in, the address bar shows https://computer:4343/index.html, as expected.
- Pick an unauthorised user and things get "bad". With IE/Chrome/Firefox, the browser tab freezes instantly and no page is returned. With Safari, a blank page is displayed after a few seconds and the user's credentials are displayed in the address bar. See capture.
The target machine runs MAC OSX 10.8.3. No problem when the target machine in a Windows 7 PC. The result is the same whether the browsers are executed on MAC or on a PC.
Not really secure... Is this a problem with the way Safari handles the HTML answer from the target MAC?
Thanks for sharing experiences/opinions/advices
