*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.  This
maintenance work will not impact access to GMail or other services using
the CAS protocol for single sign-on.



*Why is it necessary?*

The update will allow UMS to support the release of additional privacy
preserving attributes in the shibboleth SSO environment.



*When will it happen?*

Sunday, September 13, 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?*
