New Valid Entries

  • 1U = Permit or Easement Issue

Microsoft Edge replaces Internet Explorer 11 Web Browser

With Microsoft's decision to end-of-life IE 11 in June, 2022, it has been replaced with Microsoft Edge, which now provides support for displaying the JSPs within MSS. A web browser is required for several areas of the application such as ASR, EWO, and Customer Profile.

For SSL installation, you will need to install the self-signed certificates on the client machine by navigating to the following URL within your Edge browser:

https://<hostAddress>:<port>/main/pblistener

If you receive a security warning, you will need to import the certificate from within the Content tab of the Internet Options dialog. Click the Certificates button, select the Trusted Root Certification Authorities tab, and then click the Import... button to import the root certificate for the server. Complete the installation, close all instances of Microsoft Edge, and then start the MSS client.

ASR CORBA APIs Desupported

CORBA APIs are no longer supported from ASR 60. Oracle recommends that you use ASR Web Services to integrate ASR with other Oracle products or with external applications. See ASR Web Services Developer's Guide for more information about the ASR Web Services.
