Re: WildCard Cert Errors

Hi Stephen.

Your wildcard certificate is set up like mine. Your certificate only has :-

Common Name (CN) *.ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu

That means that the certificate will not match https://ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu - you need to use https://login.ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu or http://ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu

Also, the wildcard "*" asterisk part of the certificate will only match one "word" in the URL ie no dots. Ezproxy will rewrite HTTPS urls replacing the dots in the vendor hostname with "-" hyphens.

Your starting point URLs should be either :-
http://ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/action/showAdvancedSearch
or
https://login.ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/action/showAdvancedSearch

Either way, the proxied URL will be rewritten by ezproxy to :-

https://www-jstor-org.ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu/action/showAdvancedSearch

Best,

Laszlo.

Meant:

https://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu/action/showAdvancedSearch<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/KY4PCVARmOH5v6ELFGn_bs?domain=jstor.org.ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu>

causes wildcard errors

The following URL causes no issues:

https://ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/action/showAdvancedSearch<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-BMpCWLVn6iPkKQguxORuh?domain=ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu>

Which allows this Option HttpsHyphens​



This:

https://www-jstor-org.ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu/action/showAdvancedSearch<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/qjESCXLW6DiqJRgycD6bFI?domain=www-jstor-org.ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu>

Causes Wildcard errors



Is the second URL allowed if using a WildCard Cert or it will always cause errors?



Thanks,
