Information

For students and faculty

This is an announcement from the Academic Information Center.

From September 13, a security update will be released for shared files in Google Drive. This will update the links to the files and make the files in Google Drive more secure, but in some cases, you will need to request new access rights to the shared files.

The security update itself will be applied to our tenants, but you can choose to exclude your own files from the security update. Affected users (those who have shared files) will receive a notification email after July 26 with information about the affected files and how to deal with the issue, so please check the content of the email and take action.

*At this time, there is no information from Google about the contents of the email or how to take action.

Please refer to the official update information for an overview and benefits.

From 22:30 on July 17th, 2021 to 23:30 on 18th, there was a problem with single sign-on (SSO) to the following services

• Zoom
• Adobe ID

Two weeks before the expiration date of the digital certificate used for SSO, a new digital certificate was automatically issued, and the positive and negative certificates were switched, but users were unable to log on to Zoom, Adobe, and other systems that do not support the positive and negative switching.

We manually switched to the new certificate at around 23:30 on the 18th, and the problem has been restored.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

On May 27th, there was a communication failure on the Omiya Campus Wireless LAN from around 11:00 to 11:25. As a result, all users and services using the wireless LAN were unable to use it.

We have not yet identified the complete cause of this problem, but we believe that one of the causes is that some networks experienced loops and network instability before the time of the failure.
We have already identified and implemented countermeasures for the looped areas.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

2021/05/21　There was a communication failure between 17:32 and 18:15.
There was a network failure at Toyosu Campus.

This failure was caused by the core switch, and Scomb, SRAS-VPN, and extension phones were also affected.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
