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 no longer experiencing issues with the SAML SSO login flow and this incident is now resolved. The service is operating normally at this time. We apologize for the inconveniences and any impact this issue may have had on you or your customers.
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.
