Monitor requires a Web browser running Adobe Flash Player Version 10 or greater.

For the Monitor and 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. 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.

You can switch to another browser to resolve the issue.

 

 

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 the browser 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.

TDV provides a configuration option that can be tuned to override the “Select a certificate” popup. In TDV Studio, choose Administration > Configuration > Server > Communications > Want Client Authentication.

Default value for this setting is True. When True, Server will send client certificate request for SSL authentication.

You can set this configuration to false to avoid the popup "Select a Certificate" in Web Manager. TDV server must be restarted to take effect.

Note: If you have mutual authentication configured in any of your published web services, setting this configuration to false will disable it.

To set up Business Directory for SSL communication with other TDV components, see Keystore and Truststore Files for Business Directory.
