[Eril-l] Alexander Street Press databases and WAM proxy

Hi,

Is anyone out there still using WAM proxy? Alexander Street Press just switched to HTTPS and we’re getting the usual security certificate error. Normally our Systems Specialist would set up a security certificate and spend a little bit of money with the certificate vendor.

However, the Alexander Street’s URL structure does not allow us to do an easy wild-card setup for all of our databases, and since we have subscribe to so many Street databases, this will cost us quite a bit of money. I’m wondering if there are alternate routes available to eliminating the security certificate problem.

(we are hoping to move away from WAM proxy, but it’s contingent on the ILS and we’re just starting to shop around for a new one).

Thanks,
