CAS, ryerson.ca, and my.ryerson.ca service interruptions: from 1:38 PM to 2:20 PM , April 14

One of the Central Authentication Service (CAS) application servers had connection issue to back-end database server starting around 1:38 p.m. on April 14. This prevented some users who were on this server from logging in. This server has been restarted at 2:20 p.m. and CAS service has returned to normal. CCS technical team is investigating the root cause.

Update Tuesday April 14 at 5:19 PM.
