1 Before You Begin

Oracle recommends that you review the following information before using the software.

Note:

This version of the Web GUI User Guide may be less helpful to users of releases S-Cz8.4.0p4 and earlier, due to the many changes to the Web GUI that take effect with the S-Cz8.4.0p5 release.

• Browser Support
• Basic Mode Support and Behavior
• RADIUS Server Roles and Access Privileges

Browser Support

Oracle recommends that you use the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge as of the date of this release, for the best user experience.

Oracle does not support Internet Explorer 11.

Note:

After upgrading the software, clear the browser cache before using the Web GUI.

Basic Mode Support and Behavior

As of the S-Cz8.4.0 release, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) no longer supports the Web GUI in Basic Mode. The Web GUI supports only one mode, which is the equivalent of the former Expert mode. If you have a Basic Mode configuration, the system will migrate and preserve your Basic Mode configuration during the upgrade to S-Cz8.4.0.

If your ESBC is in Basic Mode when you log on the first time after you upgrade, the system displays the following message and asks you to confirm.

The Session Border Controller no longer supports the Web GUI in Basic Mode. 
Click confirm to continue using the Web GUI. Your configuration will be preserved.

Caution:

If you do not confirm, you can no longer use the Web GUI with the S-Cz8.4.0 release.

RADIUS Server Roles and Access Privileges

The Web GUI supports RADIUS authentication functionality similar to a user signing on by way of Secure Shell (SSH) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Available functions depend on the role that you assign to the "userclass" on the RADIUS server.

• When you configure the RADIUS server as userclass=admin, the system allows the Administrator full access to all features and functions after logging onto the GUI.
• When you configure the RADIUS server as userclass=user, the system limits User access to the following features and functions after signing on to the GUI.

  • Full access to all System features and functions

  • Can download the following files in System File Management:

    • Backup Configuration
    • Configuration CSV
    • Local Subscriber Table
    • Log
    • Audit Log
    • Playback Media
    • Software image
    • SPL Plug-in (SPL)

    Note:

    The "User" account cannot upload files in System File Management.
