Web login service upgrade work - Monday, August 15th, 6:00am-6:00pm (intermittent)

WHAT: PLU's Single-sign-on system will be upgraded

WHEN: 8/15/2016 Duration: 6:00am-6:00pm (intermittent)

Current Status: Complete

Description: Throughout the day on Monday, the I&TS Systems team will be converting various systems to an upgraded single-sign-on (SSO) platform.  No significant outages are anticipated during this rolling upgrade process.  However, a brief disruption (1-2 minutes) to just the login service for each application may be experienced as each migration is completed.  Once logged into any given application, no interruption should be expected and only one application will be migrated at a time.  You may notice a need to re-login when transitioning between services during this period, due to the simultaneous operation of both the current and new SSO platforms.

Service(s) Impacted: Sakai, Banner Self-Service, Gmail, Google Apps, Web Help Desk, ePass

Workarounds: Other than possible re-authentications no impact is anticipated and no workarounds should be required.
