Microsoft Azure authentication failure on Friday, January 26, 2024

At approximately 10:35 AM on Friday, January 26, 2024, EUC staff discovered that Azure Pass-thru Authentication was not working. This impacts the ability of staff, faculty, and students to login into Microsoft 365, Adobe, and any other third-party application using Azure AD for authentication.

CCS is currently investigating the cause of the problem.

UPDATE 12:35 PM

Authentication started working again around 12:30 PM following a “disable” and “enable” reset of the service on Microsoft Azure. We are not sure why this resolved the issue and will continue investigation to see if we can determine the root cause.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
