I love the design, Chris. Congrats! The obsessive part of me really wants the command to be valid in a standard bash shell, so I just mentally prefix 'alias goto=mv $USER ;' to the command line and I'm all good :) On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 3:20 PM, cmark...@gmail.com cmark...@gmail.com wrote:

[CODE4LIB] EZProxy changes / alternatives ?

We've just received notification of forth-coming changes to EZProxy, which will require us to pay an arm and a leg for future versions to install locally and/or host with OCLC AU with a ~ 10,000km round trip. What are the alternatives? cheers stuart -- Stuart Yeates Library Technology

EZProxy is a proxy for use with vendors that have products gateway'd by IP address. It allows users who are off-campus to access resources that are locked down by IP address as though the user was on campus. It does deep-packet inspection to write URLs and javascript, facing DNS stuff, etc.

Did a little research I think Squid would work, not as a drop in replacement. Same with apache (there is a proxy redirect directive...I don't recall it). I haven't tried either solution, but they seem to have the same concept, albeit with a little more configuration! Good Luck //Riley Sent

Some use Squid, its not hard to set up. But most vendors publish rules with ezproxy in mind. The other fairly simple solution is to run a VPN for access, and require people to use that. Aaron On Tuesday, January 28, 2014, stuart yeates stuart.yea...@vuw.ac.nz wrote: We've just received

That's simple for the techs, but VPNs can be a royal pain in the keester if you're an end-user, for a variety of reasons. It should be incumbent on us as information specialists to unburden the user to the extent possible. On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 9:23 PM, Aaron Addison

A VPN could be a stopgap while you figure something else out, but yes I agree they are a pain for patrons. Plus from a security standpoint I wouldn't want patrons VPNing into my network, too many holes. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 28, 2014, at 9:26 PM, Andreas Orphanides akorp...@ncsu.edu

My solution came from Google, but it was people setting up the solution, from what I can tell EZProxy had the market cornered, but Squid should be simple enough to setup, and with the coming changes more people in your boat will be able to solutionize! Sent from my iPhone On Jan 28, 2014, at

I hate to say it, but Squid will not be simple to get the kind of results EZProxy gets. Shibboleth can take care of a handful (of probably some of your larger, more commonly accessed?) resources. Maybe Squid can take care of the rest, but my guess is it's the smaller, more niche resources
