+'''SSL Configuration Update'''
+Moz IT / Web Operations will be making SSL/TLS changes to the majority of websites / web apps hosted by Mozilla IT tomorrow at noon Pacific time. Check your email for more details. If you have any concerns about a site you own, please let us know beforehand so we can make any needed adjustments.
+'''Single Sign On (SSO) Update'''
+IT’s Single Sign On (SSO) effort, where we provide you the benefit of using your LDAP credentials to log into 30 different Mozilla SaaS applications, has reached it’s first milestone. At present, here are the Mozilla cloud applications that support SSO:
+* Workday
+* Smartsheet
+* Jobvite
+Other cloud applications that are scheduled to move to SSO include:
+* EchoSign
+* ServiceNow
+* Expensify
+IT will provide updates as more applications become available. We plan on migrating applications to SSO on a weekly basis.
+'''SSO Mini FAQ'''
+As we deliver this service to more users, there have been some questions that have come up. here are some of the most common, as well as resources you can go to for more information :
+''Why are we doing this?''
+By standardizing our cloud apps to use SSO, we begin to streamline the account lifecycle management process - reducing our security exposure, creating better operational efficiencies while simplifying the user experience
+''Am I handing my LDAP info to a third party (Okta)?''
+Your LDAP information is provided to an IDP server (Okta) within Mozilla’s trusted boundary - it does not go to the open web
+A SAML assertion (with no LDAP info) is the only thing that goes to the open web to talk to the cloud application and authenticate you
+''When will we be done?''
+We plan on completing the transition to SSO in a six month period that started in September 2014. Completion is scheduled for March 2015 with our known list of 30 apps. IT will provide updates as we go
+''Where can I go to get more information?''
+Check out these links to learn more about SSO, federation, and how these tools work together to give you one less thing to worry about in your day-to-day at Mozilla:
+SSO Architecture: https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40044646
+And if you have a cloud app that you feel could benefit from SSO, drop a line to the SSO IT team at sso-it@mozilla.com. We are happy to help!
