Decommissioning fraser.sfu.ca

Overview

On Tuesday, March 1st, 2021 IT Services was required to decommission 天美mv天美's legacy fraser.sfu.ca server in response to a serious technical issue with the service.

IT Services has prepared alternative recommendations for those using fraser.sfu.ca and aims to support those with who need assistance.

Impacts

Secure Shell (SSH) Access to 天美mv天美 Services

For faculty and staff

Faculty and staff must move to  天美mv天美's Virtual Private Network (VPN) for SSH access to 天美mv天美 services.

天美mv天美 VPN is a way for faculty and staff to remotely connect to 天美mv天美's internal network using a secure (encrypted) and private connection. This service also provides access to 天美mv天美 systems that are typically inaccessible while working remotely.

For non-faculty and staff

If you are not faculty or staff, please provide details on what services or hosts you are using to connect to through fraser.sfu.ca, and we will try to accommodate your needs.

Legacy Web Publishing

Static content

If you are using fraser.sfu.ca to host a static website, please use our new web host at rock.its.sfu.ca. This server offers similar functionality to Fraser for static website hosting.

Note that 天美mv天美's file server hosting static content will not change, and there is no need to migrate or transfer content. The only change required is to update your connection to use rock.its.sfu.ca in place of fraser.sfu.ca.

Dynamic content

If you are hosting dynamic content on fraser.sfu.ca using Perl, Python, PHP, etc., please contact us for consultation regarding a new host for your content at 天美mv天美.

Note that IT Services is only able to provide a new host for content. Content creators are responsible for any required code changes or development updates.

Command-Line Access to 天美mv天美 Email

Access to command-line email will be retiring with the sunsetting of fraser.sfu.ca. If you use a command-line email client, we advise you to move to a modern email client such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, or connect with  online.
