1 +== Announcement ==

4 -The EBRAINS authentication service will be down for approximately 1 hour to allow an upgrade of the authentication service. EBRAINS services using EBRAINS authentication should not be affected, except during the downtime of the service.
3 +On the 14th of May 2020, several High Performance Computing centres across Europe suffered a cyber-attack. The attack affected the infrastructure which hosts multiple HBP and EBRAINS services. As a precaution, and in order to ensure the continued security of the HBP and EBRAINS services, all users with an HBP and/or EBRAINS user account are requested to change their password, both in Collaboratory 1 ([[https:~~/~~/collab.humanbrainproject.eu>>https://collab.humanbrainproject.eu]]) and Collaboratory 2 ([[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu]]).

11 -We are looking into this. At the time being, it seems that a small number of files are locked by the Drive which prevents OnlyOffice to update these files when they are edited online.
11 +Select a password sufficiently long and complex with a mix of lower case, upper case, digits and punctuation.
12 12  
13 -We are actively trying to correct the problem as promptly as possible.
13 +Remember that you are responsible for protecting your password. Do not write your password in clear form.

20 -1. perform a trivial edit and save
21 -1. if you are the only user with that file open, you can trust the presence/absence of a warning message from OnlyOffice
22 -1. if multiple users have the file open simultaneously, you can:

24 -11. check in the Drive the timestamp of the file that you just saved

30 -1. close OnlyOffice. (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)**DO NOT KEEP LOCKED FILES OPEN IN ONLYOFFICE.**(%%) It would mislead others.

32 -1. upload the file with its new name
33 -1. work on this new file
