Dear all,
We would like a situtation where users on campus don't need to login to FAME
and the same URL will allow access to our off campus users. We are finding
this rather problematic at the moment so I wondered if other insitutions are
offering a better way of providing access to this database? I would be
interested to know if anyone has got this working via EZproxy.
We are currently using the following URL to access Fame:
http://fame.bvdep.com/athens.aspx
which means that users have to login even on campus.
We used to use http://fame.bvdep.com/ip which did not allow off campus
users to access this database. I tried putting this on our proxy server but I
couldn't make it work.
Next, we tried https://fame.bvdep.com/ which I thought would recognise our
IP range on campus and prompt for login from off campus users but I found
that it wasn't picking up our IP range so I requested a username and password
for on campus users. However, we found out that the Athens link was going
to a Beta version of the database.
Thanks
Andrina
