Section 1: Overview This document outlines the requirements for browsers that are certified for use with Oracle EBusiness Suite R12. Section 2: Internet Explorer (IE) for Windows Users Internet Explorer: Certification Matrices Internet Explorer Prerequisite Patch Requirements Internet Explorer: Recommended Browser Settings Internet Explorer: Importing an SSL Certificate Internet Explorer: Known Issues IE Alert: Java(TM) was blocked because it is out of date and needs to be updated From the 9th September 2014 Internet Explorer has started blocking out of date ActiveX controls running through any security zone except the 'Local intranet' or the 'Trusted sites' zones when using IE 8 or later. Trying to run any Java content from your desktop using older JRE releases, prior to the latest CPU's on any JRE stream, through any other zone for example the 'Internet' zone will now be blocked. This issue may therefore affect Oracle E Business Suite users trying to access forms and any other Java content. Further information on this latest security feature is available from this Microsoft announcement and its associated links. Oracle's recommendation has always been to run Oracle EBusiness Suite through the 'Trusted sites' zone as outlined under the Internet Explorer: Recommended Browser Settings section within this document. Users that have followed this advisory or run their environments through the Local Intranet zone will not be affected by this change within IE. Users that are running their Oracle EBusiness Suite environments through any other zone and are also using an old JRE version on any stream will not be able to access forms or any other Java content. Microsoft provide a workaround in their documentation to turn this feature off which can be used to workaround this issue if desired. However, Oracle continues to recommend running your Oracle EBusiness Suite environments to through the 'Trusted sites' zone of the browser which will avoid this issue occurring. Upgrading to the latest and therefore most secure JRE version will also prevent Java content being blocked from any IE security zone. For information on upgrading to the latest JRE releases see Document 393931.1 titled, 'Deploying JRE (Native Plugin) for Windows Clients in Oracle EBusiness Suite Release 12'. Internet Explorer: Certification Matrices Certification Matrix for Internet Explorer (64bit) Browsers The table below outlines the certified combinations of 64bit Internet Explorer Browser, Windows Desktop Client Operating System and JRE (64bit) streams with minimum versions, where applicable.
