TDV web-based products runs on these Web browsers:
Web Browsers | TDV Support | Notes |
Mozilla Firefox | Active | Business Directory, Deployment Manager and Web Manager support Mozilla Firefox v85.0 on Windows 10 and macOS Sierra 10. |
Chrome | Active | Business Directory, Deployment Manager and Web Manager support Chrome v87.0 on Windows 10 and macOS Sierra 10. |
Safari | Active | Not supported for web service API calls. Not supported for TDV Web UI. Business Directory, Deployment Manager and Web Manager support v12.0.3. |
Edge | Active | Business Directory, Deployment Manager and Web Manager support v88.0 on Windows 10. |
For the Deployment Manager client web applications to function properly, the machine that is running a compatible browser must be running on a machine with Windows 7 or higher. For Windows 8, if you are using IE, then make sure all compatibility settings are enabled or specifically configure it for compatibility view for each of the TDV web based products. Occasionally the login screen for these web applications does not close automatically, you can close it and continue using the product or you can choose to run in a different browser.
For best results, when running Business Directory and Deployment Manager concurrently, use different browsers.
Online help (and long lists in Manager) might not display as expected in Chrome. You can switch to another browser to resolve the issue.
The TDV and Business Directory servers require a secure connection. So when you first connect a browser to any TDV web-based application, you might get a warning about connecting to an untrusted site.
Depending on your browser:
*You might be asked to allow the connection process to continue.
*You might want to configure it to trust the site so that warning messages no longer appear. For some site configurations this might require configuration of SSL connections for your entire TDV environment.
To set up Business Directory for SSL communication with other TDV components, see
Keystore and Truststore Files for Business Directory.
