The master LDAP directory server, and our Identity Managment System "hub" will be down during the morning of Saturday, August 20, 2005 for software and hardware upgrades.
During this time, certain MyUMBC functionality relating to account maintenance will be unavailable. Functions affected include:
- Password Changes
- New Account Registration
- E-Mail Preferences
And others -- basically, anything housed on the "accounts.umbc.edu" or "webadmin.umbc.edu" websites. Other services, such as email access & delivery, UNIX shell accounts and Blackboard will continue to be available during this time.
The outage will begin as early as 3am, and last until 12 noon at the latest.
Please check this website for further updates and status.

What is the new hardware configuration you are going too and what will be the benefits?

The hardware will be upgraded from a Sun E250 to a V240 which means there will be a vast increase in computing power available to the master LDAP server processes.
On the software side, this upgrade will make us current with the major version supported by Sun. Also, Jason tells me that multi-element searches are much easier and faster to do.
