Low Resolution login screen

More often than not, our users may have to access Kentik Portal from a web browser running via Terminal Server or some equivalent VNC variant.
Some of our users have reported that the animated gradient on the new Login Screen resulted in a very laggy experience in such remote setups.

To solve this issue, we have introduced a QueryArg in the login URL that these users can now bookmark, which instead of an animated gradient displays a static one, therefore solving this issue:

https://portal.kentik.com/login?lowres=true if you are a US Platform user, or https://portal.kentik.eu/login?lowres=true if you are an EU Platform user.

Kentik Next for SSO users

https://next.kentik.com (alternatively https://next.kentik.eu to our EU users) is a public version of Kentik Portal which is always ahead of our production systems - it is the equivalent of OSes' Nightly Builds, a public pendant to our portal.kentik.com main instance. "Next" as we call it, exists for our customers to experience the next features to hit our production systems. (Disclaimer: as paint may constantly be wet on it, we advise users to stick to the product systems to perform production work). 

Up until now Next was not available to our SSO users - but it is now, so give it a try !
