Hi:

I have a large group of Windows users and a smaller subset of Mac users who need to automatically accept a certificate from a reverse proxy that allows them to continue on to our company Office 365 site. Problem is, we don't want them to see a popup the 1st time they go thru the RP that asks them to accept the cert (see screen shot) I know there is a setting in FF that says "When a server requests your personal certificate" Accept Automatically is one of the options, but this doesn't help for the 1st time...

Thanks, Seth

Thought Office 365 doesn't require FF to work? Just the Office 365 connects directly to Office 365 is what I understand when using Office 365. Office 365 load a small version on the computer and the running software is Online where one connects to use all it's functions.

This has nothing to do with O365, just the way my users connect to it via Reverse Proxy. The RP checks for a certificate on the Windows or Mac machine using FF. I'm looking for a way to supress the pop-up in FF the 1st time they connect, see graphic in original post.

Thanks
