How Ergon supports your projects

In Airlock WAF and IAM projects, you may encounter obstacles or be unsure about best practices. Depending on the complexity of your inquiry, there are various ways we can support you.

Support Case

Contact us through Techzone

Opening a support case on Techzone is the easiest way to get help. You can register, login, create tickets and watch all your support tickets (issue type CASE) and orders (issue type ORDER). To open a new support case, please create a CASE issue at techzone.airlock.com and include the following information:

  • Description of the problem and the steps for reproducing it
  • If the problem has a history or involves custom code developed by Ergon, please provide names of associated people, e.g. former colleagues or Ergon engineers. This will dramatically speed up the support process.
  • Indication of priority and your time schedule, e.g. "Production services are currently unavailable" or “The project should go live at the end of September”. General term such as "ASAP" are hard to interpret.
When to open a support case
  • Little effort, usually less than 4 hours
  • Expected delivery time within 1 - 3 days
  • No Ergon employees involved yet
  • Charged on a time and material basis
Example problems for support cases
  • We are stuck with the step-up functionality with the plugin “Stepup on demand”. Can you give us a hand?
  • Something in our SAML integration seems weird. Can you help us with the analysis according to the attached log files?
