Tuesday 14th Nov 2017
A significant change to VOMS records has been detected, and this may result in the release of a new Approved VOs document (to be announced). The change results from the apparent sudden retirement of all CNAF voms servers, which may or may not be "real". I'll check (sjones). The change concerns three VOs: ipv6.hepix.org, planck and enmr.eu. Sites supporting those VOs should check TB_SUPPORT over coming days to see if the changes are real.
Tuesday 26th Sept 2017
- Safari on macOS autogenerated client certificates fix put into production last week.
Tuesday 19th Sept 2017
- Bug in Safari on macOS causes random Apple generated client cert to be presented to www.gridpp.ac.uk using a CA we don't know about. The connection is then rejected by Apache. Other browsers ok since we request but do not require that they supply a certificate. Workaround produced by (a) installing the Apple CA root and intermediary CA and (b) whitelisting UK e-Science DNs (+ CERN? Others?) in the HTTPS Wiki plugin. Tested but not yet in production.
Tuesday 5th Sept 2017
New Approved VO. SKA European regional data centre, skatelescope.eu
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs
This VO is ramping up and has requested support. Andrew McNab is the contact person for GridPP.

Monday 13th November 2017, 16.00 GMT
37 Open UK Tickets this week, but 13 of them are Ipv6 tickets.
IPv6 Tickets
Of these tickets 3 of them are still not acknowledged yet - Manchester, ECDF and Sussex. I set the UCL ticket in progress.
Liverpool
131677 (7/11)
This Ops ticket against one of the Liverpool CEs seems to have slipped under the radar. Assigned (7/11) Updated and solved
Tier 1
130207 (24/8)
This MICE storage ticket could do with an update from the Tier 1's perspective, even if it's "still waiting on some free disks to show up". On Hold (25/10) Updated, with an explanation of what's happening.
124876 (7/11/16)
I cheekily tacked an update onto this ECHO Ops test failure ticket, to note how the linked issue had been poked by Alastair. On hold (13/11)
Oxford
129931 (4/8)
This Oxford http ticket could do with any update, even if it's a vacuous "haven't got round to upgrading yet" one. On hold (19/9) Updated -thanks!
