Dear customers and partners, We have recently performed a few network changes in the SaaS infrastructure, to avoid the login issues altogether. We haven't seen any related login failures since 08:40 AM (UTC), however we're currently in the monitoring phase of this incident. Expect another update in the next few hours. Thank you all for your patience here! Avinoam Weitman Support Manager

Hello everybody, 1. The login issue in saas.whitesourcesoftware.com has been resolved. You may need to clean up your browser (cache and cookies) one last time, however after that you are expected to be logged in successfully, consistently. If you continue to face issues, don't hesitate to inform our friendly support team. 2. We noticed another spike related to scan processing, which might result in longer-than-usual scan processing times. We're still investigating this issue and will continue to post updates here. Thank you! Avinoam Weitman Support Manager

Dear Customers and Partners, Following the recurring issue of long scan processing times since August 30th, we have rolled back the changes performed as part of the upgrade to 21.8.1 in our saas.whitesourcesoftware.com environment from August 29th. Users logging into that environment will notice that the application version is now 21.7.2 again and not 21.8.1. We will monitor the behavior and performance of the environment in the next few days and update regarding the next steps, based on our investigation and findings. Thank you all for your patience and understanding during the past week. Best regards, Avinoam Weitman Support Manager WhiteSource
