Monitoring
RM Unify has been performing normally since we re-enabled WS-Trust on Tuesday afternoon and we have not seen any further issues. The team are continuing to monitor the service closely.

Update
We have re-enabled authentication via WS-Trust this afternoon without any noticeable impact to service. Rich clients and Outlook clients should now be able to authenticate successfully without any issues. We will be continuing to monitor the service closely this afternoon and tomorrow morning and we are still investigating the root cause of increased traffic from Microsoft O365 that caused the availability issues today. Although we have re-enabled the majority of WS-Trust protocols, the IMAP protocol remains disabled as it has been since December.

Update
We are planning to re-enable authentication through WS-Trust for RM Unify later this afternoon but we aware that there is a risk of further disruption to service while clients re-authenticate. We have timed this change to be later in the school day to mitigate the impact to end-users but also for a time when we can still manage the backlog of client requests. We will continue to monitor the service closely during this period.

Update
We have temporarily disabled all authentication through WS-Trust protocols in order to restore reliable access to the RM Unify Launch Pad while we continue to investigate the root cause of this morning's issues. The impact of this change will mean that any users using rich-clients or Outlook for O365 that do not already have a long-lived authentication token will fail to authenticate. We aim to restore access later today as soon as we are confident that we have understood and resolved the root causes of this morning's issues.
