[Wactclc-alma] [EXTERNAL] - Re: [EXTERNAL*]-Re: [EXT] ctcLink and hosted EZproxy

[Herman, Amy]

We didn't notice any change when we went to CTClink, we self-host ezproxy.  We use SAML credentials (college email address and password).

CAUTION: This email came from a non-OC system or external source. Beware of phishing and social engineering!

I'm also interested in this conversation. We have been hosting EZProxy locally on a cloud server with a security certificate with no problems.

Suddenly, in November, EZProxy stopped working with our Gale databases. We updated to the latest version, updated our security certificate, updated the config stanza and have spent hours with technical support at both Gale and OCLC to no avail.

So, we are using the SSO workaround with Gale for now (which is a nightmare for users no matter how many directions for how to log in we post), and looking for the approximately $6,000 that it will take to migrate over to hosted EZProxy.

Please share with the list! Also, if you use EZProxy but it's hosted locally.

Thanks,

Hi All,

Maybe this has been discussed and I'm not remembering, but who has migrated to ctcLink and is using EZproxy hosted by OCLC?
Did it change your login process? Anything we should be watching out for?

regards,
