Hope this helps

We just set up Washington Post to go through our proxy (we use EZ-Proxy) server.

For NY Times this is what is required of our users:   https://libguides.dickinson.edu/specialaccess/nytimes<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flibguides.dickinson.edu%2Fspecialaccess%2Fnytimes&data=02%7C01%7Cjyeager%40elon.edu%7C691cece964f64a0ffd3b08d7f38bfbe9%7Cba18326d711f4ae286816115493a7a53%7C1%7C0%7C637245654864826655&sdata=BCK%2FvpKYRv7KaQh28q%2BjL4hYXrHTehgqaat5XWF5wCU%3D&reserved=0>

Hello,

We are in talks with the Washington Post and New York Times to get online access. The way these resources authenticate from off-site is that they provide you with a link that works wherever and does not have authentication built in. So they count on the library to authenticate and verify the users are active card holders. How have other libraries done this? I'm used to other resources working with a proxy server or SIP authentication or something.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I hope yall are staying safe and will have a good weekend.

Thank you,
Adam
