U2F security key issue with Chrome in Incognito mode and Edge in InPrivate mode – April 23rd

Starting April 23rd last Friday, U2F security key stopped working on Chrome (version 90.0.4430.85) in incognito mode and Edge (Chromium 90.0.818.49) in InPrivate mode for Central Authentication Service (CAS). This was due to a Chromium update that was released. A bug request was submitted to the Chromium project. Chrome has since released a new version 90.0.4430.93, which has this issue fixed. If you experience this issue in Chrome, please update to the latest version. We will update when there is an update from Edge. Please note that this issue does not impact both Chrome and Edge in regular mode.

Update – May 7th, 2021 – The latest Edge (Chromium 90.0.818.56) has this issue fixed.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Central Authentication Service Outage on Feb. 28, 2021 4:57 PM to 8:35 PM

CCS began receiving alerts just before 5 PM on Feb 28, 2021 that Ryerson’s Central Authentication Service (CAS) was not allowing people to log in. As a result no one could log into D2L, eHR, RAMSS, Google Workspace, and other systems via CAS. Existing sessions on these systems were not affected. The problem was traced to an unresponsive third party system that our resource management system uses to send text messages during the account set up process. The problem was resolved at approximately 8:40 PM.


Please accept our apologies for the problems the outage caused. CCS is looking into ways to make CAS more resilient should the problem with the messaging provider occur again.
