News and announcements concerning the South African Identity Federation.
The SAFIRE federation hub (including the transfer notices) is now available in both IsiZulu and isiXhosa in addition to the existing Afrikaans and English. This covers the four most widely spoken home languages according to Stats SA.
The time has come for the SAFIRE Participants Forum to re-elect Member Representatives seats for the Steering Committee 2018/2019. We are planning to hold this election during the SLA Reference Group meeting, to be held at Koponong Hotel on 15 August and all members of the Participants Forum would be welcome to attend the session (scheduled for 13:30).
During the login process, end-users are shown a transfer notice with a summary of the information that will be shared with the service provider. We’ve changed the way this works.
Between 14:35 and 16:30 SAST on Thursday 10 May, SAFIRE’s federation hub experienced an unexpected failure that would have prevented any users from logging into federated services.
A new high-availability architecture was recently deployed in order to improve the redundancy and resilience of the Federation infrastructure.
