During the migration process from our legacy Support Portal to the new Customer Portal connected to our existing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, some customer records were merged in conflict with pre-existing records. As a result of this, the system rejected the login attempts from users with multiple records as a fail-safe. This resulted in a number of users receiving SSO sign-in errors when trying to access the Customer Portal.
Once these initial conflicts had been resolved, some customer users were left detached from their organization which led the users not being able to see their organization data, such as users, projects and existing cases, and likewise could not open a new case without access to these organization-level records. At no time were any users able to see organization data to which they were not affiliated.
A majority of Neo4j customers could not sign-in to the new customer portal which prevented access to existing support tickets or the raising of new tickets.
The Neo4j Disaster Recovery (DR) procedures, leveraging email submissions to support@neo4j.com, was effective and allowed customers access to technical support resources. Email correspondence between Neo4j and customers on existing tickets was unaffected once a new thread was initiated by Neo4j Support.
Whilst, through our DR procedure, we managed to keep the customer support service functioning, there were learnings leading to potential improvements to the DR procedures. Neo4j is in the process of updating the procedures to ensure the effectiveness when needed and to further improve on our ability to interact with customers in these rare situations.
We strongly encourage all customers, with prior access to the legacy Support Portal, to verify login access to https://support.neo4j.com/s/, review a few KB articles describing the site, and confirm the ability to submit a new ticket. If login or case submission failures persist, email support@neo4j.com with details. All other customers should resume filing new tickets via the Customer Portal at https://support.neo4j.com/s/
