 Unfortunately, ssh logins were not working properly with the new servers; this is being debugged and a new migration date will be planned.
-===== Tuesday 1-10-2024: 10 AM: Websites POSTPONED=====
+===== Tuesday 1-10-2024: 10 AM: Websites COMPLETED (later)=====
-<color #ffc90e>This day we will switch over our websites, including project sites hosted here.
+<color #c8bfe7>This day we will switch over our websites, including project sites hosted here.
 These websites may be down for ~ 15 minutes. Nothing else will be affected by this change.

-The current webserver is unbootable on the new virthosts; a new server will have to be installed, this will take a couple of weeks; a new migration will be planned when this work is completed.
 ===== Monday 14-10-2024: 10 AM: VPN server COMPLETED =====
 <color #c8bfe7>Open connections to the VPN will be disrupted. Downtime will be short, and reconnecting your VPN afterwards will be easy, without changes required on clients.</color>
 ===== Wednesday 16-10-2024: 9 AM: Login servers (IDP en LDAP) (next attempt) =====
-For logging in, two sets of servers are in use: LDAP, which holds the database of user accounts, and the IDP servers that handle the logins and two-factor authentication on local websites (such as webmail and intranet).

 Switching the LDAP servers should be quick, just a few minutes. There are two LDAP servers so we will make sure that one is running at all times. To be sure the database is in a consistent state, password changes will not be possible around this time.

+===== Tuesday 22-10-2024: 6 AM: Home disk COMPLETED =====
+<color #c8bfe7>This is the most disruptive change. Logging in will not work without the home disk, and existing sessions may give errors or get stuck. So it is recommended to close applications and save your open files before this migration. It will probably be prudent to log out as well.</color>
-Switching the IDP servers may affect existing login sessions on websites, so it might be that users get logged out from webmail or intranet during this switch.
-Existing login sessions on desktops or through ssh will not be affected, and logging in on desktops will work normally.

-===== (date to be announced): 10 AM: Mail =====
-A new IL mail server has been prepared. During this switch, e-mail will temporarily not be available, estimated time ~ 30 minutes.
-Incoming mail will be delayed but will arrive once the new server is operational.
+===== Friday 29-11-2024 9 AM: License server DONE =====
+<color #c8bfe7>During this change, connections for reserved licenses will be disrupted (eg IDL, Mathematica). In many cases, the software will recover once the license server is back online in the new location, but that is not something we can guarantee. So make sure you close your session or save your data.
