As part of implementing Banner Password Synchronization, the Cascade middle tier http server was restarted so that the following change in the httpd.conf file would take effect:
#Redirect /banner https://psforms.ups.edu/forms/frmservlet?config=banner
Redirect /banner https://psforms.ups.edu/banner_sso/gokssso.p_login
This directs cascade.ups.edu/banner to the new Banner login page that authenticates against OID.

The recently released Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Safari 3.2.3 fix the problem where users received “Too many redirects” error when logging in to Cascade Web.
The Technical Help page has been updated to show which versions of Mac OS X and Safari are compatible with Cascade. Browser/OS combinations that are not compatible still receive a message that includes a link to this Technical Help page.
A person using a Web Browser that is not compatible with Cascade Web now sees a warning message before entering their username and password and encountering an error. At present, a person attempting to log into Cascade Web from Mac OSX 10.5.6 using Safari 3.1.2, 3.2.1, or 4.0 beta will see the following log-in page:
The OID schema on summit was inadvertently overwritten with Cascade’s OID schema during a refresh of Summit. This required re-registering the partner application for “/summit”. This did not work until we dropped oid.wwsec_enabler_config_info$ then executed @loadsdk from albert’s oracle account.
The listener_token value is: cascadetest.ups.edu:4445
As part of the domain change project, e-mail addresses and URLs stored in the Cascade database have been updated from “ups.edu” to “pugetsound.edu”. New account provisioning has also been updated accordingly.
The directory and most web applications display the new addresses and URLs. A few remaining Web applications will be changed in the coming week.
Password Synchronization is here! You can now synchronize your password across many Puget Sound applications by changing your password in Cascade Web, Webmail/e-mail or Windows. Learn more at http://www.ups.edu/pssync.xml.
