MAIS Web Browser and Desktop Operating System
Support
This page provides information about the supported Windows and Macintosh operating systems and browsers for the Web-based applications that MAIS manages. When MAIS evaluates software products, one of the key factors influencing a purchase decision is that the application must operate on both Macintosh and Windows operating systems.
If the software preferred by our University partner is not Mac-compatible, MAIS works directly with the software vendor to influence it to support the latest version of both Apple and Window operating systems and to expand its browser combinations. MAIS also works directly with Apple to identify and resolve issues it can address on its end, and MAIS provides a Citrix-based Internet Explorer browser that Mac users can access to run Wolverine Access applications.
For information on web browser settings compatible with MAIS Web-based applications, see the following:

Macintosh Browser Notes
- MAIS provides Citrix for Macintosh users, which enables Macs by using Citrix to connect to Wolverine Access applications via a Citrix-based IE browser. Macintosh users without Citrix access can request it by contacting the MAIS Help Desk at maishelpdesk@umich.edu.
- For full functionality, Macintosh users should
connect to MAIS LINC by using the Citrix-based IE browser.
From there, they can click the link on the University
Business Web page for My LINC (HRD and MAIS Learning & Information
Center).
- Macintosh OS X v10.5 (Leopard) / Safari 3.0 is not yet supported
by vendors of Wolverine Access applications. MAIS has performed some initial testing
and found some compatibility issues. When browser support from
a vendor becomes available, MAIS will consider adding
support for that vendor's applications.
