Summary


ImpactService Unavailable errors on TIS

Root Cause(s)

The implementation of the sync service required the api-gateway playbook run and this inadvertently changed the versions of apache and modsecurity

As a direct consequence, TIS users were getting intermittent 503 "Service Unavailable" errors.

Trigger

The number of valid state cookies would exceed the limit which was set to 3 cookies at the time.

Resolution

Updated Open ID Connect from version 2.3.9-1 to 2.3.11-1 as this version includes an option to delete the oldest state cookie once the maximum number of cookies has been reached.

Maximum number of cookies set to 1.

Detection

Alerted by users.
