The following guide shows how to install OAM 11.1.1.5 Bundle Patch 2 (Patch Number: 13115859). This patch addresses a login error relating to OAM and JavaScript failures, Oracle Bug 13254371 and Oracle Support article “1447194.1” explains how to resolve the error as well.
The primary issue was where a customer was when OAM tries to authenticate the user in any non-IE browser like Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, the customer gets the following message in the browser:
- <body onLoad=”document.myForm.submit()”><noscript><p>JavaScript is required. Enable JavaScript to use OAM Server.</p></noscript>
JavaScript is enabled on the browsers, however the message keeps appearing. Installing Bundle Patch 2 for OAM 11.1.1.5, resolves the issue.
