Thank you all for your advise and help. It does appear to be java related
to a degree. We use a simple landing page after authentication that
redirects users based on the link they clock. Self-Service (WbSIS) seems to
be our problem, but, only with High Sierra with Safari 11. For Sierra with
Safari 11, the redirect is fine. The same is true for iOS 11. We have tried
the Develop mode with IE11.  The UVic link is great and I have passed
along. We did have to add our banner systems to the Java permissions list.
Thanks!

For now, I think it is something specific to our environment.

Thanks again and more advise is always accepted.

Ron

There are issues with Safari running java, in addition to other browsers.
For Safari functionality, we have had to run it as if it were IE11. This in
addition to whitelisting Java to allow domain and port access.

that mentions Banner and the need to re-enable Java plug-ins for it to run
after upgrading to High Sierra. They didn't mention any other issues,
though.

They’re not able to access banner after Mac upgrade? Or is it some other
sort of problem?

Experts and colleagues,



We have been receiving support calls accessing our Banner systems from
those who have upgraded their MACs to High Sierra. Is this something being
experienced elsewhere or just us?



Thank you,
