Operator Console (OC) redirects/defaults to the CABI Login page
- Log in to Operator Console portlet.
- Page kept loading and the customer did not wait for the Home page to load because it was taking a very long time.
- Select the ‘Reports’ icon on the left-hand side of the window.
- The OC Home page will load all webapps after approximately 1 minute.
- Select the Reports icon and ensure that the Reports view renders. For example, when you select Network->Health->Group->Group Trend Report->Run Now, the Group Trend report view should display after about 40 seconds.
Additional information
Since the Operator Console and CABI are different/separate web applications — in order for JasperServer to create a session for CABI — the process of loading the Home Page allows that to happen so the OC Home page must be allowed to load completely first before selecting other icons. Otherwise, if you select the Reports icon before the OC Home page loads, you will be unexpectedly redirected to the CABI login page instead. as shown in the example below.
Note:
- Once the Home page is loaded, the session will be cached and the redirect to the CABI login page should no longer occur. This particular issue is not included as a hotfix in the 20.3.1 release, so the Home page must be loaded completely first, otherwise, you will run into this issue.
- If the OC session is idle for 15-20 minutes, the CABI session may timeout. In that case, select the Home Page and let it load once again.
Operator Console portlet loads very slowly
The Operator Console loads greater than 120 seconds and still remains in a loading state.
Debug the page results using the Browser Developer Tool
Press F12 to start the Browser Developer tools. In the right pane, select Network, and then Ctrl-R to reload and check the output.
- Under Headers > General, note if the Request URL is "https".
- You can test the Request URL directly in the browser.
- To help the OC load much faster, add the URL "…/cabijs/client/visualize.js: to the browser’s Trusted Sites.
- edit wasp (raw configure) on each OC machine and add the cabi path to the setup section 'cabi=/domain/hub/robot/cabi'
- edit cabi (raw configure) on the cabi server and set the cabi_url path under setup 'http://<IP or hostname>:80/cabijs'
- deactivate, activate cabi
- stop wasp on all OC servers and cabi server
- delete the ../wasp/work directory from each machine
- delete the ../wasp/webapps/cabi directory from each OC machine
- activate wasp on all servers
Data Access Error
If you get the following error on the CABI home page,
Data Access Error
Dashboard failed to load
This Data Access Error can occur if you’re using self-signed certificates for https. When you use valid CA-certified certificates, this issue will not occur.
Adjust the browser security settings
- In Chrome, you must change the browser security SameSite settings as shown below:
Note: These settings may be slightly different, depending on the browser. - Select the icon for the OC home page again, for example: <uim.xyz.com>/operatorconsole_portlet/overview
The page should load in approximately 30 seconds or so.
Note: In Microsoft Edge, the Operator Console is certified on Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. The same site settings must be set to Disabled as noted above in the screenshot, and Schemeful Same-Site must be disabled as well.

Additional Information
