Rise.com: Users can’t sign in or are stuck in a loop

Incident Report for Rise

Postmortem

Overview

On November 19, our third-party authentication provider applied a platform upgrade to our production environment. This change introduced unexpected authentication behavior that caused some users to be unable to sign in, and it also delayed certain automated provisioning tasks. After identifying the upgrade as the source of the issue, we worked with the provider to revert the change. Service was fully restored once the rollback was completed.
