Summary
Between 05:48 PM UTC on March 18 and 04:58 PM UTC on March 19, two customers using app.split.io with SAML authentication using SCIM experienced login failures.
The issue was limited to customers with specific identity provisioning configurations.
Root Cause
A service update was deployed to a login-related component that changed internal request handling behavior.
This caused authentication workflows for SAML-configured customers with identity provisioning enabled to fail during login processing.
Impact
- 2 customers using SAML authentication with SCIM provisioning enabled were unable to log in to app.split.io.
- Customers using SAML authentication without SCIM were not affected and could log in normally.
- Username and password login was unaffected.
- SDKs, feature flags, and experiments continued functioning normally.
- No data loss occurred.
Remediation
- Rolled back the service update that introduced the issue.
- Restored SAML login for affected customers.
Action Items
To prevent such issues from happening again, we are doing/completed the following:
-
Improve detection capability: Introduced a high-priority alert to detect authentication failures sooner, enabling faster response if similar issues occur in the future.
-
Reduce legacy surface area: Continue guiding remaining customers toward the Harness Platform, where authentication flows are unified and improvements can be delivered more consistently over time.
