Re: EZproxy stanza for EBSCO host

Can anyone comment on what the following lines are doing, and what might happen if they were left out? Actually they were in the previous stanza as well, just wondering if we are passing our users’ info to EBSCO for no particular reason.

HTTPHeader -request -process userIdentifier
HTTPHeader -request -process Authorization

Thanks in advance.

Subject: [EZPROXY-L] EZproxy stanza for EBSCO host

I just noticed that EBSCOhost updated their recommended stanza 10 days ago.

https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/How-do-I-set-up-EBSCOhost-in-my-EZproxy-server?language=en_US<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fconnect.ebsco.com%2fs%2farticle%2fHow-do-I-set-up-EBSCOhost-in-my-EZproxy-server%3flanguage%3den_US&c=E,1,P0xtuggNWnk6wCb1d1xA69tH45Y2ZruJFj3ZGENi8TEI2YZS0BylgEeizJ66RP8RpEaNs38qJ44aqlPeGacucBY46_8Mayol5GGeYkIrEVkq&typo=1>

The one on the OCLC stanza page dates to 2018-06-13

Is anyone else using the new stanza yet?

We're trying to track some intermittent problems that may relate to EBSCO's ongoing http to https migration

For instance this link is erroring out off campus:

Thanks for any advice...
