Duo Degraded Performance - Disabled for New Admits
Resolved - The UAS IS team has resolved the issue with the ELMO-to-Duo integration that resulted in disabled Duo accounts, and has confirmed that the fix in-place is stable. Affected users have been retroactively re-enabled. Thank you again for your patience during the resolution of this issue!

Update - We have received reports that Duo MFA is currently experiencing issues, specifically giving 'Account Disabled' errors to newly-registered students. The UAS Information Systems team is currently investigating, and we will be making updates at open and close daily, and as new information becomes available. Please see below for our workaround of this issue, and thank you for your patience during its resolution!

To Enroll in Duo with a 'Disabled' Account:
1. Navigate to https://elmo.alaska.edu/
2. Log in using the 'Forgot Password' option. (This bypasses the Duo step; you do NOT need to change your password.)
3. Once logged in, navigate to the 'Security Settings' page, then select 'Test and Configure MFA.'
4. This will begin the Duo enrollment. We recommend selecting Duo Mobile as your method of authentication.

If you have any issues with this process, please contact the appropriate IT service desk for your campus!

Scheduled - Kaltura Vn.7 Player embeds used in our LMSs (Blackboard and Canvas) have extra space at the bottom of the embed area, under the player. The size of that blank, extra space varies between each LMS integration, ranging between 30 pixels and 120 pixels, with 60 extra pixels being the norm. The original need for this (30 pixel) space, was to accommodate for the tool bars under the older Vn.2 players; this space is not needed for the Vn.7 player embeds.

This change will reset the size of the embed height, to match the size of the player.
New default player sizing will be reverted to Kaltura recommended sizes:
Large 608x342
Medium 400x225
Small 304x171
