Workaround

If any part of the following workaround is not understood please open a case with Support.

1. Login to each PDS server
2. Run the following commands:

pds_root

cd html_form/institute-<PDSInstitute> (e.g. cd html_form/institute-north)

echo | cp -i ../global/{ignore-external,logout-exe,logout-exe-full-domain,ping-remote-login,redirect-remote-login,redirect-remote-shib,sso-remote-1} .

3. Update all files in the current directory
   • Search for $0400
   • If the $0400 is used in JavaScript (i.e. it is not enclosed in a line with < or >)
     • Replace $0400 with $0410
