The change is in place.
Most services appear to be working. Our testing has indicated issue with a
few services, including:
- videos.maine.edu (Kaltura)
- Sagence (a service used at UMPI)
- Some of our services with EAB
- EDUCAUSE
We are working with vendor and campus contacts to get these remaining
issues resolved.
