This article is designed to assist with configuring your EZproxy product to allow off-campus viewing of Digital Campus products.
Link Settings
By adding the Proxy prefix to the Proxy Authentication settings in the IP Rules page, you are able to provide your users a single link without adding the proxy prefix to your links. When a user navigates to this link they will be redirected to your proxy and the link will reform with the prefix added.
EZ Proxy states that the Proxy URL should be formatted as follows:
-
- To create these links, you will select Proxy by Port on the IP Rules page
- Enter your proxy address in the Proxy URL Field (e.g.: https://ezproxy.mylib.edu/login?qurl=)
- Please remove the port information (if present) from the link URL (e.g.: ":2048").
- EZproxy states this style link will reform to either Port or Hostname based on your settings in EZproxy
- You must be running EZproxy 6.1.16+ supporting TLS 1.2 to properly utilize these link settings
Proxy Setup
EZProxy recommends configuring your proxy to utilize Proxy by Hostname. This offers greater flexibility, less redirects and URL reforming, and simplified URLs for distribution of Direct Watch Links. Please refer to the following link for OCLC's instruction on how to configure your proxy server to utilize Proxy by Hostname:
SSL Encryption
In May 2017, the Digital Campus platform moved from HTTP to HTTPS to accommodate Google’s new browser, which requires all DRM streams to be viewed over a secure SSL site (HTTPS). While Swank maintains the SSL certificate for digitalcampus.swankmp.net, EZ Proxy users are required to apply an SSL certificate in order to access Digital Campus without certificate warnings.
For additional information regarding SSL certificates on your EZproxy, please refer to the following:

Common Issues:
Issue: 404 Error after proxy authentication
Solution:
Confirm your Proxy URL reads login?qurl= rather than login?url= . This will allow the proxy to handle encoded URLs. If this does not resolve the error, please confirm your proxy server settings are correct as per the instructions above.
