Checking your web browser settings for the management GUI
To access the management GUI, you must ensure that your web browser is
supported and has the appropriate settings enabled.
Before you begin
The management GUI supports the following web browsers:
v Mozilla Firefox 41
v Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) 38
v Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 11 and Microsoft Edge
v Google Chrome 46
IBM supports higher versions of the browsers if the vendors do not remove or
disable function that the product relies upon. For browser levels higher than the
versions that are certified with the product, customer support accepts usage-related
and defect-related service requests. If the support center cannot re-create the issue,
support might request the client to re-create the problem on a certified browser
version. Defects are not accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or
browser versions that do not affect the functional behavior of the product. If a
problem is identified in the product, defects are accepted. If a problem is identified
with the browser, IBM might investigate potential solutions or work-arounds that
the client can implement until a permanent solution becomes available.
