Subject: RE: still deny user.txt troubles

Hi Fabiano,

If your question is in reference to the syntax for the creation of a deny list, which will point the user to a custom deny html web page named custom.htm then the syntax would be

Intruder:intruder:deny=custom.htm

More appropriately if you have an id which you wanted to block (example: intruderID), and did not know the password then the syntax would be

intruderID::deny=custom.htm

This will deny access to any intruderID  identifier and send them to the custom created /docs/custom.htm page you place in your Ezproxy server.  If you had a series of login IDs (like intruderID01, intruderID02, intruderID03, intruderID04)  you needed to block, you would enter

intruderID01::deny=custom.htm
intruderID02::deny=custom.htm
intruderID04::deny=custom.htm
intruderID05::deny=custom.htm

If you don't want to use the =custom.htm then the default html page for deny is /docs/deny.htm, then you should be able to use

intruderID01::deny
intruderID02::deny
intruderID04::deny
intruderID05::deny

Using the "=" syntax to specify the page had always worked for us in the past, but I don't see that syntax on the current Ezproxy documentation page now

https://help.oclc.org/Library_Management/EZproxy/Authenticate_users/Directives_and_configurations_for_authentication/Common_conditions_and_actions

So I don't know if things have changed, or the documentation needs to be corrected, but that is what worked for us.  We currently are on version 6.5.2 GA.  Try using the "=" sign to see if that does what you need, or create a /docs/deny.htm  .

Subject: [EZPROXY-L] still deny user.txt troubles

Hello again Dear List and Thanks again for the help received yesterday I've stilll some troubles.

a line like:

intruder:intruder:deny

works perfectly: it points to docs/loginbu.htm

but if I add a custom page, like:

intruder:intruder:deny custom.htm

ora a redirect:

intruder:intruder:deny -Redirect https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.somewhere.com&amp;data=02%7C01%7Ckelly.vickery%40uky.edu%7C086fa43aa627460a733008d7471e22db%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%7C637056067074336186&amp;sdata=%2Fmdim8hMSEx4xerNFE1nIjcUx4gUPBFdf4YOwsIU%2BtM%3D&amp;reserved=0

the intruder login without problem.

I guess some syntax error: can you help me?
Thanks,
Fabiano
