Hi Carol -

We keep a file of passwords that sits behind EZproxy. If a user needs the password, they click on a link, get authenticated, then proceed to a web page with the journal title (linked to the journal website) as well as the user/pass data. Our systems librarian has also had some success in working with the EZproxy community to write EZproxy definitions that embed the user/pass data and sent the user to an already logged in web site.

Thankfully, our list of titles that require this gets smaller each year!

Hi everyone,

I would like to find out how you all handle electronic resources that are not IP supported and require a login for access.

We can force all users trying to access the resource to authenticate through the proxy, but a login is still required. How do you supply the login information to authorized users without others being able to see it as well?

I feel like this is something I should already know….but I don’t!

Thanks,

Carol
