Details

08.05.14 - User presented with white screen and load attempts after authenticating through CAS. Appears to be persistence timeout problem between Load Balancer and Blackboard application with CAS authenticating but Blackboard not accepting credentials. This repeats for 5 minutes when a new server is (probably) selected.
Also - JVM certificate imported for server #2.
