VPN Now Available for iOS4 Devices
Campus VPN connections are now possible on iOS4 devices such as the iPad, iPhone and iTouch. Juniper Networks has release their SSL VPN application called Junos Pulse which can be freely download in the App Store (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id381348546) for Apple iOS4 devices. To configure the app for connections to UMBC, press Configuration | Add new configuration.
Name: UMBC (or whatever you would like to call it)
URL: vpn.umbc.edu
Certificate: None
Now press Save and you’re ready to connect. After pressing connect, you are presented with the familiar UMBC login page. Provide your credentials and press the Log In button. You are now connected to the campus VPN and you will see “VPN” in your device's status bar.
At this point you may place the app in the background by pressing the home button on your device. When you are ready to log out of the VPN, return to the Junos Pulse app and press Disconnect.
Last Wednesday afternoon, Feburary 9th, DoIT experienced a mail system error on one of UMBC's major mail servers used for sending mail. This caused mail trying to be sent from UMBC to be delayed and it might have resulted in mail in being destined for UMBC to be deferred by as much as 8 hours.
The problem resulted when an outside vendor network engineer was troubleshooting a problem with our campus firewall management server. He was working on a problem where these firewall management devices were not properly sending mail notifications. These notifications are required by the legislative and USM auditors. Their engineer made a configuration error that caused the firewall management server to flood our mail servers with thousands of mail messages. The mail server is designed to defer mail from the sending host when it sees a host flooding it with mail; however the engineer had also misconfigured the hostname to be to be the same as one of our major mail systems, causing the sending mail servers to defer mail from that legitimate system as well.
We got notification of the error when users contacted the help desk. They paged our the system administrators responsible for mail who got this resolved; however it took a little time to figure out why this strange situation occurred and get the network firewall management server reconfigured.
The impact of this was that for those using UMBC email servers. There was about a one in four chance mail being sent out or received was deferred. Service was restored about 4 hours after it was reported. Students and others using our Google Mail for UMBC were not impacted but some mail being sent from Blackboard to class lists was delayed. By early morning on the 10th all email systems had returned to normal.
DoIT understands that email is a critical campus service. We have taken steps to work with the external vendor and also reworked our own mail processing scripts so that this kind of situation can't happen again. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this caused.

UPDATE:Microsoft Blocking UMBC Mail
UPDATE Feb 15, 2011: Microsoft has lifted their block on mail originating from UMBC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the weekend a departmental desktop machine was compromised and it subsequently sent over 500,000 spam messages in less than 24 hours. The end result is that all Microsoft mail (e.g. Hotmail, Live.com, MSN) is blocking mail originating from UMBC mail servers.
The single caveat is that anyone who moved their mail to Google@UMBC remain unaffected by the block imposed by Microsoft. Anyone still on the existing UMBC (Cyrus) mail will be impacted by this block.
Unfortunately, Microsfot is extremely aggressive in blocking anyone they view as a spam source. To complicate matters further they won't work directly with UMBC in resolving issues. The end result is that most of the time legitimate mail sent to Hotmail users from UMBC is simply blocked. This has created a number of issues for various offices on campus that need to communicate with existing and prospective students.
We entered requests to have this block removed using Microsoft's automated interface. The site currently states that the block with be lifted in approximately 48 hours.

2/11/11 Bb Downtime & Known Issue: Abnormal Usage "Spikes"
As part of DoIT's regular scheduled maintenance window, Blackboard will be down next Friday, February 11 (10 p.m.) to Saturday, February 12 (1 a.m.) to address abnormal database utilization "spikes" occurring several times a day since the start of this semester. Normally, Bb operates at about 20-30 percent of system capacity, but DoIT has seen spikes of nearly 100 percent, resulting in very slow performance for up to 30 or even 60 minutes each occurrence.

Full Title: Educause Publishes Video Demo of UMBC "Check My Activity" Tool for Students
The final 2010 issue of EDUCAUSE Quarterly includes a brief (5 minute) video demo of UMBC's "Check My Activity" (CMA) tool for students. The CMA demo was part of EQ's special focus on student retention, and includes new information comparing how students use Blackboard by final grade distribution in all 1,461 Spring 2010 Blackboard courses. Specifically, D & F students used it 47 percent less than students earning a C or better, which is similar to results from previous semesters based on much smaller samples. A similar analysis is being conducted on all Blackboard courses for Fall 2010.
