Re: EZproxy Release – 26 September 2019

Hi Deborah,

Thanks for your patience with my reply. Option #1 is correct! Beyond upgrading EZproxy, no further action is required to get the OpenSSL update.

Thanks!

Kia ora koutou,

A perhaps naïve question, but does

“EZproxy v6.6.2 was built with the most current Long Term Support release of OpenSSL (1.0.2s), which was released on May 28, 2019”

mean that:


  1.  OpenSSL 1.0.2s is included in the upgrade and nothing else needs to be done;
  2.  We need to upgrade OpenSSL separately in order for EZproxy 6.6.2 to work; or
  3.  We can upgrade OpenSSL separately if we choose?

Thanks very much,

Deborah

Install Window for EZproxy hosted customers:

EZproxy hosted customers will be notified when their site is scheduled to be updated.



Important note about Proxy by Port:

OCLC will end support for EZproxy’s Proxy by Port option on 30 September 2020, due to its incompatibility with many popular e-resource websites. Customers currently running Proxy by Port may continue to do so for the time being. After 30 September 2020, customers will need to enable Proxy by Hostname in order to receive support from OCLC. Proxy by Hostname will help ensure seamless access for your library’s e-resource subscriptions. For more information, please see migrating to Proxy by Hostname<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Rn-zC1wMzGfprmDKupcG8L?domain=help.oclc.org> or contact OCLC Support<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/M7-wC2kXA7tkLGJAH2s57C?domain=oclc.org>.



EZproxy Analytics:

Later this year, EZproxy Analytics will be available for the EZproxy hosted service with an additional subscription. We are holding a webinar on 8 October 2019 to give customers a preview of the service and share additional details. Register here.<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Czl1C3130yfmjMJViQJr9i?domain=oclc.org>
