[Ofas_deptadmin] OFAS Development Update - February 2026

[Jameson Schildroth]

Good morning OFAS Department Admins,
We deployed a set of updates today reflecting work completed throughout February. A summary of the changes is included below:

  *
ACODEV-222 - updated LDAP user lookups to use ldapwh.uwaterloo.ca with a secure service account bind while retaining Nexus-based authentication for login to fix issues with some users logging in using their @uwaterloo.ca email address.

  *
ACODEV-223 - fixed an issue with certain reference and application file downloads failing to download and returning a 404 error

Additional details for each item are available in the release notes:

If you encounter any issues, or have feedback or feature suggestions, please contact us at acohelp at uwaterloo.ca.
If you would like to stop receiving these updates, or need to add or remove someone from the distribution list, just let us know and we’ll be happy to help.


Thanks,
