We had an authentication issue overnight with our Single Sign On (SSO) service.

This is now resolved.

The PantherNet portal is repaired and currently online. However, in identifying the root cause there is another fix to apply that will require another restart to avoid another outage. Things should be fully back to normal in about 20 minutes.

The PantherNet campus portal is currently not available. We are working on it, and expect to have a resolution in about an hour.

The annual extended maintenance period for our core data server is about to begin. Some services will be unavailable or unreliable for most of the day.

Making an update to our single sign-on service today in support of adding multi-factor authentication on an upcoming date.

We do not anticipate any service disruptions, but if you do have issues today an unexpected side effect here is the likely cause, and we will be monitoring.

Campus-wide network outage beginning 12:55PM was due to faulty equipment in Mackey creating a routing loop that somehow bypassed spanning tree protection and overwhelmed the campus core switch.

Resolved for most areas at 2:11PM, remaining areas before 3PM. Our board is green.

[York University IT Department @YUITDept]

Print services will be unavailable during today's Daily Gathering in order to patch a recently published security issue. This is precautionary/preventative only; there are no indications any York University systems have been compromised.
