[Feide Updates] Feide IdP OS upgrade Monday 6 January 2014
by Olav Morken 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi, the operating system on the Feide IdP production servers will be upgraded Monday 6 January. The upgrade will be performed by removing each server from the set of active servers, upgrading it, verifying that everything works and then reinserting it in the set of active servers. The upgrade should therefore be invisible to end users. Best regards, Olav Morken UNINETT / Feide

[Feide Updates] Feide IdP update Thursday 12 December 2013 at 13:30
by Olav Morken 12 Des '13

12 Des '13

Hi, we are going to deploy an updated version of the IdP software on Thursday 12 December, at 13:30. The main change here is an update to the code we use to authenticate users against the LDAP directories and retrieve attributes for the user. Notable changes here are: - Better logging of errors: We will now retrieve and log the LDAP extended error when authentication errors occur. This will in some cases allow us to get a better idea of why authentication fails. E.g. whether the password is wrong or expired, or if the account is locked. (This information is only logged, and not showed to the user.) - We will distribute authentication requests over all the LDAP servers for an organization. Previously, we tried them in the order they were listed in the configuration. We have also added a method we can use to downprioritize one of the servers, so that we always try the other servers first. The long term plan is to downprioritize servers automatically based on information from the monitoring system. - When searching for users, AD-LDS / ADAM has treated some national letters the same as ascii letters. For example a search for 'å' would return results for both 'a' and 'å'. We have now improved the search algorithm to take this into account. (Unfortunately, if anyone has gotten used to entering their username incorrectly and having the IdP "correct" it, they will have to change to enter the correct password.) - We have improved the attribute retrival code to better handle attribute names with special attribute casing. E.g. "labeledUri" instead of "labeledURI". We now normalize everything to the correct casing. There are no direct changes to the messages sent from the IdP to the service providers, though due to improved attribute retrieval code, some users may get additional attributes in the authentication responses. The update is currently running on our test IdP. If you have any question or concerns about this update, please contact us at support(a)feide.no. Best regards, Olav Morken UNINETT / Feide

Hi, due to a database migration, the consent database will be unavailable for up to 30 minutes from 17:00 Wednesday 16 October. Logins through Feide during this time will still work, but users will have to manually give consent for attribute transfer when they log into services. Best regards, Olav Morken UNINETT / Feide

[Feide Updates] Reconfiguration of Feide session backend
by Olav Morken 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi, we have hit a limit of the number of connections to the session store in Feide, and need to increase this limit. Du to the urgency of this increase, we will need to perform this today and tomorrow morning. The plan is to increase the connection limit of one of the servers today (Monday 9 September), at 14:30, and the other server tomorrow morning (Tuesday 10 September), at 09:00. The reconfiguration should not cause any issues for people logging in through Feide while the reconfiguration is taking place. Best regards, Olav Morken UNINETT / Feide
