Blackboard / EZProxy / Off Campus Access

[Elena OMalley]

Mike:

We use WebCT and EZProxy with referring URL authentication. Note: there's
security issues.

You can also check the EZProxy list archives on this issue by searching
on "blackboard" http://ls.suny.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?visit=ezproxy

Good luck with this project,
Elena

> Greetings,

> We're looking into better integrating library resources into our
> Blackboard system.  We currently use EZProxy from Useful Utilities as
> our proxy system to verify access for off campus users.   Our
> programming department doesn't think that the Blackboard login could
> double as an EZProxy login (which I wanted so that off campus students
> can log in once to Blackboard and then not need to log in again to
> EZProxy).
>
> Is anyone using Blackboard in a way that the login to Blackboard also
> opens full access to off campus users as if they had logged into a proxy
> system?
