Update - We are continuing to investigate an intermittent issue that is affecting authentication to some I.T. services across the university.
This includes, but is not limited to: Sims Client, Resource Booker, myPrint, and access to Shared drives.

Because of the intermittent nature of this issue, the current advice is to keep trying to access the systems affected - and to save work regularly if you do gain access.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing, updates will follow.
