Cache Access Denied error with Mac Parental Controls
We have two stand alone Macs in our office. They are not on our network. Our organization uses a proxy, and I've been tasked with adding it to the Macs. In addition, the users have to be locked out from changing the settings.
To accomplish this, I've enabled Parental Controls and allowed Safari as the only browser. Once I enable the controls and the proxy, the workstations are able to browse. However, if left alone for 15-20 minutes, Safari will inevitably return a Cache Access Denied error. The proxy settings work fine without Parental Controls enabled. The Parental Controls work with no trouble as long as the proxy settings are turned off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've deleted the cache and reset Safari. I even went so far as to uninstall/reinstall Safari, but the Cache Access Denied error persists.

As for using a different browser, Firefox easily allows access to the proxy settings so that the user could turn them off or modify them. Chrome had the same problem as Safari. Thank you both for answering. I gave points to each of you since no one even looked at my question for several days.
