Hi,
unfortunately something went wrong during the update, and as one of the servers was taken down for reboot, the load balancers stopped distributing traffic to the other servers.
The consequence was that Feide login was unavailable from 10:13:30 until 10:21:30, at which point we switched to our backup system. We are currently running on the backup system, and will continue do to so until the problems on the production system is diagnosed.
Best regards, Olav Morken UNINETT / Feide

Hi,
due to a recently disclosed vulnerability in glibc, we will be rebooting the Feide production servers between 10:00 and 12:00 today. We are not aware of any applications on the login servers that are vulnerable to the issue, but to be certain the servers will be rebooted.
Since the servers will be rebooted one-by-one, the reboots will not directly affect user logins. However, because all Feide session data is stored in-memory, user who have logged in before we the reboot will lose their single-signon session and must enter their username and password the next time they access the Feide login page.
