[BB] Security change coming on Friday morning

The security on the Blackboard system will be changed on Friday morning at 3:00 AM.  All requests to Blackboard will be encrypted.  This is done by using https instead of http.  This is also known as SSL.  If you are on-line at that time, you will probably be required to login again.  There should be no noticeable down time.
 
This change is not supposed to cause any trouble.  I am letting you know so that you can notify me if you see anything that needs our attention after the switch. 
 
Friday morning 3-5 AM is our standard window for doing any work on the system.  This is one of the few times that we are using it.
