@sjsp,

This should be fixed if you do another Delete Lab/Provision Lab, our operations team just put updated lab images into place for several affected classes.

As mentioned previously, the self-signed certificates used on the 'classroom' system expired.  As a result, the httpd service would not start, which is why port 80 (and 443) connections were not responsive.

Hi Scott,

Support confirmed it should now be fixed. I am reprovisioning the lab and will test it shortly.

many thanks

It looks like the SSL certificate in the lab image has expired.  Please open a support case so they can provide a work-around as well as notification when it's resolved.

Make sure the "Product" is Red Hat Online Learning.
