Blackboard is investigating whether the shutdown of the Mozilla Persona service could impact the Achievements building block.

The Achievements b2 allows publishing badges to Mozilla Backpack, which currently depends on persona.org for identity provisioning. This site is being shutdown on November 30, 2016, which means that all current customers utilizing our "Publish to Backpack" feature that requires persona.org will get failures in this product feature.

Please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Persona_Shutdown_Guidelines_for_Reliers for more details. Persona is no longer actively developed by Mozilla. Mozilla has committed to operational and security support of the persona.org services until November 30th, 2016.

On November 30th, 2016, Mozilla will shut down the persona.org services. Persona.org and related domains will be taken offline.
