    • Both SAML and Shib implementation giving errors

    • Going to try Google Auth today to see if it works

    • Move to Docker did add complexity

    • Would be good to document - there are 2 things that would be useful to document more - Thor will try to help with this

      • SSL setup for Docker container (this has been asked 4-5 times historically on list)

  • Faster, more frequent updates can be easier to keep up with than really large updates that come infrequently (UCSD)
