1 WebLogic Remote Console Accessibility
WebLogic Remote Console is available in two formats:
- Desktop WebLogic Remote Console, a desktop application installed on your computer.
- Hosted WebLogic Remote Console, a web application deployed to an Administration Server and accessed through a browser.
Generally, the two formats have similar functionality, though the desktop application offers certain conveniences that are not possible when using a browser.
Unless noted, the accessibility features or issues described within this document apply to both formats.
Overview
Currently, a variety of accessibility features are available in WebLogic Remote Console and its associated online help. The application itself provides the appropriate information to ensure pages can be rendered in assistive technology. Accessibility features provided by the desktop application and the browser application let you control the application with the keyboard.
Oracle is dedicated to providing high quality information technology that is accessible to people with disabilities. In particular, Oracle is committed to ensuring full compliance with the Section 508 accessibility standards. To this end, Oracle has undertaken a substantial project to test and ensure the accessibility of WebLogic Remote Console. Oracle is implementing these enhancements and will continue to address all accessibility issues that come to its attention. See Oracle's Accessibility Program at http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/index.html.
Keyboard Access
All functions of WebLogic Remote Console are accessible and usable from the keyboard. The application supports the standard keyboard controls found in Web browsers and does not interfere with the operating system standard keyboard controls.
Note:
On macOS, you may need to enable keyboard navigation in your device settings. See Enable Keyboard Navigation on macOS in Oracle WebLogic Remote Console Online Help.Keyboard Shortcuts

Known Issues
WebLogic Remote Console currently exhibits several known issues relating to 508 compliance. The issues are described in more detail below.
Keyboard Accessibility
Keyboard accessibility is limited in the following ways:
-
While using the Safari browser on macOS, if you press the Up arrow while on the first element in a group, it does not loop around to select the last element. Instead it remains on the current (first) element.
Workaround: Use the Down arrow to navigate to the last element.
Screen Reader
The screen reader's effectiveness is limited in the following ways.
Hosted WebLogic Remote Console
The following issues apply to Hosted WebLogic Remote Console only:
-
When the This Server element (in the Providers drawer) is selected, the screen reader instructs users to move off of the selected element instead of how to activate the element.
