Hi,
we will deploy a IdP update Tuesday 16 September at 13:30. This update
contains several minor fixes and improvements to the Feide IdP. It does
not alter the messages sent from the Feide IdP in any way.
Changes in this release:
* Make sure that the user makes an active choice of home organization
on the page where they choose the home organization. This is done by
removing the default choice of home organization, so that the user
cannot continue unless they make a choice. This should hopefully
reduce cases where users just click "continue" and end up contacting
the user support for whatever organization happened to be the
default when the login fails.
* Add a link to the page with support addresses for all user home
organizations connected to Feide to the page where the user chooses
their home organization. This should give users a place to look if
they can't find their home organization.
* Increase the threshold for showing the "too short interval" page. Due
to prefetching in browsers, this page may sometimes be shown without
there being an actual error in the SP. We now allow three logins for
the same user to the same SP in a 10 second window before we display
that error.
* Also improve the text on the that page, so that it is clearer that it
is a sort of redirect loop between the service provider and Feide.
* Hide the national identity number on https://innsyn.feide.no/ , like
we already do for the consent page. The user will now have to click a
link before the national identity number is shown.
* More statistics data for uses of the organization preselection
handler.
* A slightly better Feide logo in the "more information" section on the
login page.
* Add the new hot-standby backup hosts to the configuration files, to
make it possible to execute various monitoring commands from those
hosts (e.g. firewall checks, so that we can make sure that host
organizations allow connections from those hosts to their user
directories.)
The update has been running on the test system since Monday
8 September.
Best regards,
