Resolved: problem affecting secure proxy service

May 13 2013

A problem affecting the eZproxy service this afternoon (which manages secure off-campus access to resources which only support IP-based authentication) has now been resolved.

After login, off-campus library customers attempting to login to resources managed by secure proxy authentication were being resolved to an error page displaying a “Session Creation Error”.

This issue has now been fixed, and proxy requests through the eZproxy service are again resolving normally.
