Dear members of the Puget Sound community,

Technology Services (TS) has planned the following maintenance activities. Details on the maintenance being performed are available below:

Vanity URLs: Planned Maintenance

Thursday, April 23 | 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

• Website redirects from vanity URLs will be temporarily unavailable from both on-campus and off-campus during the maintenance window. 

• The actual destination website that the vanity URL redirects to will remain available and can be accessed by going to the standard URL (listed below). 

• Because the IP addresses of the sites will be changing, it is possible that your device may try connecting to the old IP addresses even after the change which will cause errors. Usually, this will resolve itself within 24 hours. However, if you have issues accessing these sites after the maintenance window is complete, you may try flushing the DNS cache on your device. 

SYSTEMS IMPACTED: 

• Website redirects from the following vanity URLs:

REASON FOR MAINTENANCE:

• TS will be updating the IP addresses associated with the vanity URLs into a dedicated network zone on the firewall. This improves network security by segregating public-facing services from the internal network and allowing more granular controls.

Thank you for your patience as we conduct this important work. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the TS Service Desk.
