Salesforce Outage

I am currently experiencing flaky login success with Salesforce.com. The Dataloader failed on login, and logins to the website failed even when I was successful in using a database on the na4 server. It’s been going on for about 5 minutes. The trust site shows all greens…

Update: While the trust site still reports no problems, I think Salesforce.com is having problems with their single-sign-on system. Once logged in to Salesforce.com, I’m able to use the system, but if I try to log in I’m getting flakiness–sometimes in sometimes not. An integration running on servers outside my control (though also in Seattle) are experiencing problems logging in as well. So different locations using different log in methods are both having problems. Anyone seeing similar behavior?

By the way, the 3rd-party integration I’m using hasn’t fine-tuned their notification system, so I’m getting an email every 30 seconds that Salesforce.com is unavailable. That’s fun.

Update: Here’s a work around for logging in when the single sign on system isn’t behaving: log on directly to your instance at https://na4.salesforce.com/. You’ll have to insert your own na number. You’re most likely on na1, na2, na3 or na4.

    I’m trying to hit http://www.salesforce.com, and am getting “Unable to Connect” error messages. They are not just flaky, they are DOWN! I was able to log in through https://na4.salesforce.com.
