Hi Carol, and everyone else,

 

We also try to avoid resources that don’t have IP authentication, but we do have a few required resources that need a username and password. We use a setup similar to what others have mentioned: a page for each resource that is behind EZProxy and provides the URL, the credentials, and a notice that the login information is not to be shared outside of UNBC.

 

Hope this helps!

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
