Navigator page down

The OSD Navigator page is down due to a server hardware failure. We are working on getting it fixed. Some links are available at http://osdtech.blogspot.com/2012/11/navigator-page-down-this-weekend.html
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Firefox and Java updates

I've noticed a problem with the version of Java we are currently running being automatically disabled by fFrefox because of a potential security threat, so I have updated both of our versions of FF and Java this morning. These should be automatically installed the next time you log in or refresh the Zen icon.

In the past, we've had some problems with Java installing incorrectly if the browser was open during the install. If possible, please wait a few minutes after your next log in before opening Firefox, or, if you care to force the install on your own terms, please close all browsers, then right-click the Zen icon and choose "refresh". Wait 2-3 minutes and everything should be updated. 

Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays!

Firefox 17 and IC incompatibilities

Issue Alert on Firefox 17: The newest release of Mozilla's Firefox 17 has caused an issue with WYSIWYG editor screens in Infinite Campus. For example, on the Assignments screen, the SAVE buttons are not responsive.

Workaround:  Please use Firefox 16 or IE9 as alternatives until this issue can be resolved.

This issue is being tracked as SIS-61030. Our development team is actively working on this issue. No ETA has been provided at this time.

New look coming to Gmail Compose window

Fans of minimalist design will really like Gmail's new Compose window. Soon, the new look will be rolled out to all our Gmail accounts. You can get a preview and learn more about it at this link. I've been trying it out for a few weeks now, and although I initially had trouble finding things, I now appreciate the simple, clean look that hides most of the things I don't use often.

Wireless network Captive Portal security certificate fixed

Users trying to log in to the public wireless network this morning got an error message saying the identity of the server could not be verified. The exact error message varied depending on the browser. Chrome and Firefox give you the option to override and continue, albeit with dire warnings about how somebody could be intercepting your traffic. (This was sure to get the attention of the paranoid, tinfoil-hat-wearing crowd.) Safari is apparently a bit more ardent about protecting us from ourselves, and did not provide the option to override. The result is that iPad users on the public network were not able to authenticate.

The actual cause of the warning was that the security certificate for the captive portal (the screen that pops up asking you to log in when you use the public network) had expired over the weekend. We have created and imported a new security certificate, so now devices on the public wireless network can log in normally.

Thanks for your patience, and I apologize for the interruption and inconvenience.

Online payments working again

The payment processor has resolved the technical issues on their end, so parents can once again make online payments via the Campus Portal. Thanks for your patience during the disruption.
