[Web4lib] ValueLine remote access?

[The Ford Library at Fuqua]

Hello Ed,

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "ValueLine doesn't do its own
authentication...".

Duke University Libraries has an IP-authenticated subscription to their
Value Line Research Center product; and remote authentication of users via
EZProxy is supported by VL.

If you already have any EZProxy installation, remote auth+access is acheived
by simply adding the appropriate settings to your ezproxy.cfg file.
Disclaimer: I'm not Duke's EZProxy admin so I can give you more feedback
than I have; but I can provide you contact info for a VL rep off-list if you
like.

Cheers,
