Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

WatchGuard experienced a 3.8-hour outage affecting SAML SSO login functionality across all regions, preventing users from signing into their accounts through single sign-on. Users were able to access their accounts using direct WatchGuard credentials as a workaround during the incident. The issue was resolved with a fix implementation, and WatchGuard recommended updating SAML metadata configurations in Identity Providers to prevent future disruptions.

We are currently investigating reports of users experiencing issues when attempting to sign in to their WatchGuard accounts through the SAML SSO login flow. As a workaround, users can log in using their WatchGuard credentials until the issue is resolved. We'll post our next update in 1h, if not sooner.

Our team has implemented a fix, and SAML SSO login to the Web UI is now functioning normally. We are continuing to monitor the system to ensure stability.


While most SSO integrations will continue to work without any changes. We recommend updating your WatchGuard SAML metadata configuration in your Identity Provider (IdP) to ensure uninterrupted SSO login access. Please update the SAML metadata configuration at your end as configured during your initial SSO setup, by referring to the relevant integration guide for your IdP.
