Resolved: secure proxy access problems
THE ISSUES PREVENTING access to resources relying on ‘secure proxy’ authentication, reported earlier this morning, have now been resolved.
All access requests are now resolving correctly, with authentication by university username and password.
Secure proxy access problems
THE LIBRARY IS working with colleagues in Digital Technologies to resolve a problem that is preventing access requests to electronic resources that use the ‘secure proxy service’ from resolving correctly.
The issue is affecting database, eBook and ejournal access requests which rely on this method of authentication.
For those resources impacted by the issue, requests resolve to a generic login screen displaying the OCLC logo (see below).
A further update will follow once normal access has been restored.
