Hi Ray,

Although I don't have direct experience with EZProxy, DSpace does have two
authentication plugins that may be of interest:

First, an LDAP authentication plugin, which can be configured to use an
external LDAP (allowing users to use an LDAP-based University signon).  It
also can optionally be configured to assign permissions (i.e. add people to
DSpace Groups) based on their current LDAP groups.  See
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-LDAPAuthentication

Second, we have an IP authentication plugin, which can allow you to specify
individual IP addresses (or IP ranges) which will be given extra access
rights in your DSpace.  It essentially lets you map one or more IP
addresses/ranges to DSpace Groups (and then use those Groups to provide
access rights in DSpace).  See
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-IPAuthentication


In DSpace you can enable one or more Authentication plugins. So, it's
possible to run both the LDAP plugin and the IP plugin together.   I don't
have a specific example of doing this for EZProxy, but if you essentially
want an LDAP single signon, and the ability to provide access rights via a
Proxy (IP address), these might be useful in doing either/both.

Good luck!  Hopefully others on this list with more direct experience with
EZProxy can provide you with better examples.
