Identity Management systems will be undergoing maintenance from 7:00 PM to approximately 9:00 PM on Thursday, March 4.

While most redundant applications are expected to continue to operate normally, there is the possibility of brief outages.

These systems include all the IT Division's authentication services, including Single Sign-On, Phonebook, RADIUS (Employee Wireless and VPN), and Multifactor Authentication services.

The Grouper group and role management application will be down for the entirety of this maintenance, along with two of its dependent services, MFA Management (the MFA token management application) and MFA Bypass.
