| Notes: | Who should read this? Staff and students who use the Google Chrome web browser What is happening? Google is currently rolling out a software update for Google Chrome version 80+ that is affecting browser cookies (bits of information from websites visited, that are stored on your computer). This is having a down-stream impact on staff and student applications that use Single Sign-On (SSO), for example: FinanceOne, eStudent). When trying to access applications that are not part of the curtin.edu.au domain, two minutes after initial login to the Staff Portal, SSO may fail, causing the Curtin Staff Portal login page to re-load. Digital & Technology Solutions is working on resolving this issue as a priority. What services are being affected? The following services may be impacted by this issue when Google Chrome is used as the web browser. This includes:
What do I need to do? If you use Google Chrome and experience the issue described above, we recommend using a different browser (like Microsoft Edge). It is anticipated that other browsers (eg. Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox) will be rolling out the same update later this year. Note: You will need to close the browser and reopen it for it to be effective. Next steps Digital & Technology Solutions is currently investigating solutions to this issue. Further updates will be provided until it is resolved. In the meantime, please use the workarounds recommended above.
