InitialDP and x-wcs-service-key attribute added to the IM-SSF-CAP3 node so that SIP INVITE includes complete headers.

The web admin console (Axia) allows you to disable SSL if you wish.
BugDB # 28047643
Refreshing the browser where the Admin Console is open no longer returns a blank screen.
Service Request # P-17376286, and BugDB # 17429462
An unexpected NoEventHandlerException error is no longer thrown on TDM networks in the PN domain.
This section describes known software problems and workarounds, if any.
SIP URLs cannot be used if DNS resolution is not set up in the network.
Ideally, you use SIP URLs to configure the addresses of SIP network entities. However, in a network where DNS Resolution is not enabled, SIP URLs cannot be resolved into IP addresses.
If your network does not provide DNS resolution, then you must use only IPs to specify the addresses of SIP network entities.
Service Controller orchestrates SIP services provided by SIP application servers acting as either Back-to-Back User Agent (B2BUA) or Redirection Server (RDS). It does not support SIP Application Servers that act as proxy servers.
To work around this problem, always implement your SIP application as either B2BUA or RDS.
BugDB number: 13244144
The Web Services SSU does not support adding authentication credentials to outgoing messages. As a result, Balance Manager features that invoke the Balance Manager SOAP API do not work if you enable client authentication requirements for the API.
BugDB number: 13117202
The configuration parameter that enables M3UA routes to share traffic when set up in ANSI mode is not documented.
The configuration parameter is available only through MBeans; use the SlsRange attribute of the SsuSigtran MBean to specify the maximum number of SLSs sharing traffic load. Possible values are 32 or 256.
BugDB number: 14745009
In the Administration Console, in the IM Management tab, in some rare scenarios the buttons may appear in a different order, and some may appear disabled when they should be enabled.
To work around this, select again the IM Management node in the navigation tree.
BugDB number: 16134371
The possible return values of SsuRemotePointCodeRuntimeMBean and SsuLocalPointCodeRuntimeMBean are wrongly described in Service Controller Configuration and Runtime MBean Java API Reference.
The correct return values of SsuRemotePointCodeRuntimeMBean are:
0 - Inactive
1 - Active
The correct return values of SsuLocalPointCodeRuntimeMBean are:
0 - Inactive
1 - Active
