[Wactclc-alma] [EXTERNAL] - WOIS/CIS360 EZproxy FormVariable directive

[Herman, Amy]

Naoko successfully ran it in July.  I've cut and pasted her instructions below. Will be trying it myself once I find out if ours has been renewed (we host it as a courtesy for another department).

Hi all,

I wanted to follow up on this topic. I used the FormVariable directive for WOIS's new site and it is working the way we want.

If your users are required/would like to create their own accounts to access the site, this will not work for them. I know Lily at SPSCC has figured out a way to facilitate creating individual accounts.

We wanted our students to be able to access the site without having to log in to their own accounts, so I requested a general site login from WOIS, which is a different login from the one for creating individual accounts.

Here is the stanza:

Title WOIS
URL -Form=post WOIS https://wa.cis360.org/login/into-careers-form
FormVariable name=your institution's general login username
FormVariable password=your institution's general login password
FormVariable action=login

Proxied link example:
https://bow.highline.edu/login?url=https://bow.highline.edu/login/WOIS<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbow.highline.edu%2Flogin%3Furl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fbow.highline.edu%2Flogin%2FWOIS&data=05%7C01%7Caherman%40olympic.edu%7C39e15024039f40b5eba408da69b8c272%7C5089378aab1544c0b1bad4f21ccc3085%7C1%7C0%7C637938539533889363%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=yrUvotn4zQRX082yuHahQ8Bb8rDACb%2ByV7QZLZJudb8%3D&reserved=0>

If you are interested in using the FormVariable directive for other sites, here is a great guide for figuring out which HTML elements to use in the stanza:

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you,

Hi,

Has anyone successfully used EZproxy to successfully pass the login credentials to WOIS with the FormVariable directive?
I've tried to set it up to test it out to see if we could just use a proxied link for new account set up and an unproxied link for general access- this is a long shot since proxy sessions are persistent, but I'd like to try- but it's not passing the credentials.
