Resolved: Friends of Penn State slow or unresponsive
Systems that use the Friends of Penn State (FPS) service may have been slow or unresponsive between 12:55 PM and 1:17 PM today. This includes any account provisioning systems that use the FPS API to create new FPS accounts, the Digital Identity Management Console (DIMC), some functions within eLion, web-based FPS account creation on https://fps.psu.edu, among others.
Staff are aware of the underlying cause and are working on a solution. FPS may continue to experience intermittent outages until a fix for the underlying cause is put in place.
