Re: switching from proxy by port to proxy by hostname

My first guess would be that the config.txt file at ezproxy.tlu.edu  has a line

N(ame) bulldogs.tlu.edu

rather than
N ezproxy.tlu.edu

Subject: [EZPROXY-L] switching from proxy by port to proxy by hostname

We are having problems switching from proxy by port to proxy by hostname.

Here is our test ezproxy URL:

http://ezproxy.tlu.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=a9h<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ezproxy.tlu.edu_login-3Furl-3Dhttp-3A__search.ebscohost.com_login.aspx-3Fauthtype-3Dip-2Cuid-26profile-3Dehost-26defaultdb-3Da9h&d=DwMFAg&c=j5oPpO0eBH1iio48DtsedeElZfc04rx3ExJHeIIZuCs&r=QSDqzeXYBL5jBoJICszlVhB6KZhBnqnnaMRlYmT5k0U&m=p_SyXgWblkdDn88f3v8ZM15z_IRHnpuHZi6ahRMY7HA&s=3pzxzXkWwSVVykYi4DkchjlBhjsGO42ZirVEZ52uLo0&e=>

When we click it, the URL that appears in the browser address box automatically replaces "ezproxy" with "bulldogs" and users are not presented with the ezproxy login prompt.

Our old proxy by port tag was http://bulldogs.tlu.edu:2048/login?url=

Our IT dept. created a unique I.P. and host name for the move to proxy by hostname.  I am unable to logon to EZproxy admin.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?  Has anyone on the list experienced this same problem when you made the switch?  Is there a way to search the EZproxy-L archives if there is such a thing?
