Holding authentication hostage
It’s Thursday, and in case you forgot, Thursday is Good Humor day at the office. In less than an hour, the Good Humor man will be parked outside of my building delivering his frozen bits of goodness to all who stand in line.
One comment about that statement from you pervs and I commence with the bitchslapping.
*ahem*
Anyway, yours truly is currently chained to her desk as we are having issues with our authentication gateway. The server is hung (yeah, that’s what happens when you use IIS people, it HANGS) and we are unable to reboot until all of our call center reps are OFF THE DAMN SYSTEM.
*sigh*
Which means, until I get the call that I can switch back to gateway authentication instead of local authentication (which runs on FreeBSD and is, oh, you know, RUNNING) I’m stuck here.
Meantime, new subscribers will be unable to create personalized accounts, and old subscribers cannot make any changes to their existing accounts. All of that is done via the aforementioned gateway.

Seems fair to me.
