Re: WildCard Cert Errors

The link format is:
https://ezproxy.cidlibrary.org/login?url=https://www.referenceusa.com

the /Home/Home is added during resolution.

And there are NO NoHttpsHyphens at all in the file, and I did add HttpsHyphens as a troubleshooting step.

If I attempt a link with hyphens in it, it gives me that isn’t a starting point URL.

You shouldn’t NEED to do that as adding hyphens to the URL is the default behavior by EZProxy: https://help.oclc.org/Library_Management/EZproxy/Configure_resources/Option_HttpsHyphens

However, as a troubleshooting step, certainly try adding it to your stanza. We’ve all seen computer weirdness, and if putting it in there fixes it, well, great.  It IS position dependent, so if you have a NoHttpsHyphens in your file, you might need to a HttpsHyphens to make things right from that point on.

The only thing I can think of is: Are you referencing it as:
https://www-referenceusa-com.ezproxy.cidlibrary.org/Home/Home
or as
https://ezproxy.cidlibrary.org/login?url=https://www-referenceusa-com/Home/Home (I think that’s the format, right?)

Chris Z. always said you should use the ‘proper’ form (the 2nd one) when linking to a resource.

Unrelated: I would suggest adding Option ForceHTTPSLogin to your config.txt (I saw a login screen that wasn’t HTTPS), as well as Option ForceHTTPSAdmin (if you don’t already have it in there).

Yes, you need to use the hyphens option in your config.

Ok, question on this. I have no Option NoHttpsHyphens in config.txt, and I am getting cert errors showing me the URL

https://www.referenceusa.com.ezproxy.cidlibrary.org/Home/Home [referenceusa.com.ezproxy.cidlibrary.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.referenceusa.com.ezproxy.cidlibrary.org_Home_Home&d=DwMGaQ&c=8v77JlHZOYsReeOxyYXDU39VUUzHxyfBUh7fw_ZfBDA&r=RzuvmrjV2OCbxFATfoSTEnF5WFvuPC_o3B3MUQCetc0&m=YhmQloYYdUUd9W1Sdi5CK7Vf9H2Plrp8VF5PfOya2Jw&s=x1QF3qxbNtUZRRxNCL1_7S-KvMC-u2YD1SWwvMYl5Vw&e=>

I have been beating my head against this for a couple of days now.

I would assume for that to work, I would have to be sending

https://www-referenceusa-com.ezproxy.cidlibrary.org/Home/Home [www-referenceusa-com.ezproxy.cidlibrary.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www-2Dreferenceusa-2Dcom.ezproxy.cidlibrary.org_Home_Home&d=DwMGaQ&c=8v77JlHZOYsReeOxyYXDU39VUUzHxyfBUh7fw_ZfBDA&r=RzuvmrjV2OCbxFATfoSTEnF5WFvuPC_o3B3MUQCetc0&m=YhmQloYYdUUd9W1Sdi5CK7Vf9H2Plrp8VF5PfOya2Jw&s=bI8-XhfciX12cQj3QgBA8yxEIo4H3OGZroMQsNt3Dfs&e=>

Is that correct? That should be the default behavior?
