Tips on customer-specific URL / custom domain names

We now offer the option to replace your existing URL (recruitingapp-ID.umantis.com) with a customer-specific URL with a custom domain name (e.g. www.customer-career.com). This is a useful step to reinforce your corporate identity and improve the recognizability of your employer brand. If you’re interested, our Customer Service team will be glad to provide you with detailed information about license costs.

Notes:

  • If you are using a company-specific custom URL (customized/customer-specific domain name) for your Umantis solution, please note that configuration of the Umantis application is only possible through the URL that you used to log in to the system.
  • When using a custom URL, it is essential to ensure that Umantis be informed well in advance of any certificates that are about to expire. To avoid unnecessary disruptions to your day-to-day business, the new certificate should be received by Umantis Support at least 45 days before expiry. If the customer certificates does not arrive in time we will automatically install the Let's Encrypt certificate as a fallback solution to keep your site online.

SaaS (hosted by Umantis)

Hardware: Use of Umantis products requires an Internet-capable computer. Please take note of the different system restrictions on use with mobile devices (file uploads, etc.)

You will need the following software to access the full range of functionality:

Browser and operating system

Umantis Talent Management Software is a web application that is accessed via a web browser (client). It is compatible with the following browsers: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Apple Safari (latest versions). By using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), data is transmitted in an encrypted manner on the transport layer.

Please note that Umantis generally does not support operating system and browser versions for which manufacturer support has already been discontinued. Umantis products are optimized for the latest available browser versions of Microsoft, Firefox, and Chrome. Therefore, it is generally recommended that you always use the latest browser and operating system versions to ensure optimal performance and full functionality.

Supported Browsers and Operating Systems Umantis Talent Management solutions are:

Compatible with macOS Sierra, with the latest version of Safari

Compatible with Windows & MS Edge in their latest versions

Important Notes:

  • Browser extensions or settings that allow spell checking and auto-completion of entered text should not be used for security and data protection reasons.
  • End of Life Microsoft Edge Legacy Browser - more information at Lifecycle FAQ
  • MS Edge and MS IE11 may exhibit unexpected behavior when compatibility mode is enabled.
  • IE11, 10, 9, 8, and IE7 are only partially supported - certain functionalities are restricted (e.g., IE11 does not support icons, IE7 does not support the Typeahead function / auto-completion in search fields for user input).
  • Due to the well-known "Poodle" security vulnerability, support for SSL 3.0 has been discontinued.

Access to Umantis solutions via outdated and manufacturer-unsupported:

  • Browser versions (e.g., Internet Explorer) and
  • Operating system versions (e.g., Windows XP)

are not possible.

For important information on the Windows XP operating system (Click on “Expand”)

Please note that certain browser and operating system versions are also no longer supported by their manufacturers (e.g., Windows XP: http://windows.microsoft.com/de-CH/windows/end-support-help). This means that no security updates are performed. Severely outdated and manufacturer-unsupported versions pose an avoidable risk. For security and compatibility reasons, we recommend that you do not use outdated browsers and operating systems but instead upgrade to the latest available version.

Microsoft Information on the Topic: If you continue to use Windows XP after support has ended, your computer will be more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. Support for Internet Explorer 8 will also be discontinued. If your Windows XP PC is connected to the internet and you browse the web using Internet Explorer 8 after the end of support, you may expose your PC to additional threats. Since many software and hardware manufacturers optimize their products for current Windows versions, you should also expect that multiple apps and devices may not be compatible with Windows XP.

How long will access to Umantis solutions via Windows XP still be possible?

Answer: As of September 2015 (Stable Update), the use of Umantis solutions with Windows XP will definitely no longer be possible.

What happens if Umantis solutions are still used with Windows XP after September 2015?

Answer: Access from Windows XP clients will no longer be supported for security reasons. Users with Windows XP operating systems will not be able to establish a connection to Umantis solutions, as an HTTPS connection will not be possible.

What happens if applicants access Umantis solutions using Windows XP?

Answer: You can use the following JavaScript example, customize it as needed, and embed it into your homepage/company website. This will notify users (e.g., applicants) accessing your site via Windows XP about their outdated operating system (with a prompt to upgrade).


TLS encryption

Support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 has been discontinued

We currently support TLS 1.2 and 1.3.

Please note that the major browser vendors (Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple, Google) have stopped supporting TLS 1.1 and 1.0 since 2020. Our claim regarding security and compatibility is always based on the latest standards. As a Umantis customer, you should therefore have switched to version 1.2 by the end of February 2020 at the latest, for example by using a current browser. This ensures that your solution can still be called up and secure data transmission is still guaranteed.


SPF entry

Sending emails is one of your Umantis application’s most central functions. As a Umantis customer, you are responsible for allowing emails to be sent, either by means of an SPF entry or by setting up an email gateway. Unfortunately, no emails can be sent if this setup is not done by the customer. For more information, visit the following page: SPF entry

You can also have your email gateway set up by a Umantis specialist.

JavaScript

Parts of Umantis solutions are built on Web 2.0 technologies, and therefore require JavaScript support. If you do not use JavaScript, then the range of available functionality will be restricted. We attempt to offer as many functions as possible for “non-JavaScript” users as well, but unfortunately, this is not possible for every technology/solution (e.g. diagrams).

Cookies

Please note as well that you must activate the use of cookies.
