Hi Julie,
We did set up the OALA proxy initially to test it. I don't remember it being too tricky (although I should point out I didn't do most of the work!) - most of the steps are the same as setting up EZProxy. We used a separate runtime and proxy server, so if you can get the runtime server working you can probably get the proxy working too. Most of the work was in getting the wildcard certificate correct.
Being a very new product, I did find that it has fewer features than EZProxy in some areas. Oddly, for a product so integrated into an authentication system, it seemed to be lacking any authentication control. It allowed any valid user account to use the proxy, even if OALA is set to release no attributes at all for that account. This was in 2.2 - I don't know whether this has changed for 2.2.1.
Regards
Ben

Subject: Re: Trouble configuring EZProxy as a service provider
Hi,
We are just starting the process of moving from OAMD to OALA and don't have ezproxy. As OALA now has an integrated proxy, is it troublesome to configure and get working?
Thanks,
Julie
