Subject: Scheduled Maintenance: UMS Single Sign-On System - November 17th -
5 a.m. - 7 a.m.
To: UMS Help Contacts <[log in to unmask]>


*What is happening?*

The UMS Shibboleth SSO server system will experience a short outage while
the system is updated. For most users the testing will be non-disruptive,
some users may be unable to log in to enterprise applications while
switching to the standby server. During this work, there may be issues
logging into Box, Zoom, and other SAML or InCommon services. *Access from
MyCampus Portal to Mainestreet will be impaired. **Users needing to access
MaineStreet should navigate directly to the MaineStreet login page
(mainestreet[.]maine[.]edu).* This maintenance work will not impact access
to Blackboard, GMail, or other services using the CAS protocol for single
sign-on.



*Why is it necessary?*

The update will allow the system to be effectively monitored for
performance issues and to assure the robustness of the shibboleth SSO
environment under peak loads.



*When will it happen?*

Sunday, November 17, 5:00-7:00am - There will be a brief outage while
switching to the standby server. When updates and testing are complete, the
system will be switched back to the production server.

*Concerns?*
