PAC file deployment for Mac
Before deploying the proxy, you will have to remove any other web-filtering software on the device. You will also need to remove other certificates and allow pop-up windows in Safari, or whichever browser the web filter proxy is being deployed to.
For Safari, go to the Safari menu, choose Preferences > Security > uncheck Block pop-up windows. Note: For Safari 15.0 or later, choose Preferences > Websites and change "When visiting other websites" to "Allow".
To get the Mac PAC file, go to:
- The web filter Admin Console > Deployment > Windows and Mac. Copy the PAC file URL from the Windows and Mac section.
- On the Mac device, open System Settings then go to Network > Advanced> Proxies> Select Auto Proxy Configuration. In the URL text box, enter the web filter PAC file URL.
- Open the browser and click the lock icon at the search bar to show the certificate.
