User Feedback:

2014-12-03 From initial feedback from 2 users we determined that the dual login (AAF + normal myTardis) was confusing users as to which fields to use. Subsequently we have made changes to the myTardis AAF integration such that when using the AAF plugin users can only login via AAF thus simplifying the login process. Users no longer need to perform step #3.

A bug regarding user login was also detected by one tester that has now been fixed with this patch:

https://github.com/carlohamalainen/mytardis/commit/503b1f500edfb2f893a9187098d7b5177a4459d5

We now have successfull login reports from 3 users who participated in the UAT. A fourth tester from UWA is still awaiting feedback from AAF regarding login difficulties.

2014-12-04 An SSL certificate has been added to the CAI instance such that warnings about an insecure site are no longer issued as this was causing concern for users regarding security
