VALIDATION
Additional enhancements to the Hub debug logic related to the Hub’s Test Harness which provides staff with ability to test Participant’s ability to respond over the Hub.
PRODUCTION
Resolution of an issue related to optional Hub message re-signing logic. This change more accurately finds a type attribute associated to a SAML AttributeValue within an AttributeStatement section. This will avoid inaccurately finding a type attribute somewhere else within the SAML section. Note that there are a very small number of Participants impacted by this issue (i.e. issue reported by one Participant), and the change was deployed in Validation environment on 1/19/2021 and tested successfully.
Scope:
These enhancements will be applied to the eHealth Exchange Hub VALIDATION or PRODUCTION environments as outlined above.
Impact:
We do not anticipate any service interruptions.
Support:
eHealth Exchange staff will monitor administrator@ehealthexchange.org for 30 minutes after the maintenance is completed.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND REMINDERS:
The eHealth Exchange Hub team has implemented a recurring weekly scheduled maintenance window each Thursday evening at 9:00pm ET for all non-urgent events. The duration of each maintenance event will be determined by the respective changes for each event, and details will be communicated out to all Participants at least 48 hours prior to the event. If there are no changes for any given week then the maintenance event will not occur and no notice will be sent. Also please note that Operating System and similar updates that do not require a service outage, and do not require changes to the application layer, will be performed during this scheduled maintenance window without specific notice due to their frequent and routine nature.
