Hi Robin, Yes, I realize this concern. I've come to understand that a Koha-SIP2-EZProxy arrangement is a possibility for e-resource authentication. Now I just have to figure out how this works. I knew that SIP2 had something to do with what I was looking for. Time for some technical reading!

Just be aware that hiding a URL from someone is not a viable method of securing content. URLs are not intended to be secret and treating them like they are is a bad idea. Instead, you'll want a layer of authentication protecting the actual resource behind that URL. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF Note: This email message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the individual to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
