Web Real-Time Communications 8.5 Product Alerts

  • The Mozilla Firefox browser, starting from version 51, has a problem with media establishment when the browser client initiates a call. Note that this issue does not occur when the browser client receives a call via the WebRTC Gateway. Until a solution is found to this issue, try to keep using Firefox version 50 or earlier.
  • The Chrome browser, starting from version 52, generates certificates using ECDSA cipher suites by default, which will cause media establishment to fail with the current version of Genesys WebRTC Gateway. To avoid this issue, use the Genesys WebRTC JavaScript API version 8.5.210.25 or later, which forces Chrome to generate the certificates using the older RSA cipher suites.
  • The Chrome browser, starting from version 50, is using some updated WebRTC APIs that may cause issues with the older versions of Genesys WebRTC JavaScript API. If this is the case for you, please update the JavaScript API to version 8.5.210.23 or higher.
  • The Chrome browser, since version 47, supports user media operations only from secure origin. If you are using Genesys WebRTC service with Chrome browser version 47 or higher, you must use HTTPS for the application server, as well as the WebRTC Gateway. To do this, configure the WebRTC Gateway and set up the application server with the appropriate security certificates as described in the Genesys WebRTC Service Deployment Guide.

  • The WebRTC Gateway supports receiving INFO data in www-form-urlencoded format from the browser in the middle of a call, and forwarding it to the SIP Server using the SIP INFO method.
  • The WebRTC Gateway accepts + as a valid first character of a DN.
  • The WebRTC Gateway includes support for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).
  • JavaScript libraries for integration with web applications, communications, and attached data transfer
  • The WebRTC JSAPI provides a configuration parameter to specify the time (in milliseconds) to wait for an answer from the peer side after making an offer. If that timeout expires and the offer is still not answered, then the JSAPI sends the onPeerNoanswer event to the client application.
    The minimum valid value for this timeout is 18000 (18 seconds) and the default value is 60000 (60 seconds).
  • The WebRTC JSAPI provides a mechanism for mid-session data transfer for the following scenarios:
    • Between two peers
    • From a peer to the SIP Server as mapped user data
