Re: EZproxy Release – 26 September 2019

Hello all,

Thank you for these reports regarding your issues upgrading to EZproxy 6.6.2, including authenticating to the Admin page with Shibboleth. We are currently investigating and will update the listserv as we learn more.

Had same issue here. Seems to be ignoring the shibuser.txt. I sent the report and info to OCLC last week, and haven’t heard anything yet.

Glad to hear it’s not specific to our Azure AD SSO setup.

We had the same Problem after upgrading our instance of EZproxy 6.5.2 to 6.6.2.  When I checked the log file I noticed that the username was logged as 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1 the urn:oid and not the value.  I couldn’t login to admin console and reverted back to the old version. I also tried the SAML options but that didn’t fix the problem.

I attempted to upgrade to EZproxy 6.6.2 last night and I found that I could no longer access the EZproxy admin console.  I applied the SAML options noted in the documentation below, but that did not resolve the issue.  Is this consistent with behavior observed elsewhere when upgrading to the latest version?

I reverted back to version 6.5.2 and all is working as it should.

Dear EZproxy Community,



Based on feedback from users, we have updated the EZproxy 6.6.2 release notes describing a ShibbolethMetadata configuration necessary for some customers whose SAML configurations are relying on previous SAML versions. Please review the notes describing the SAML integrations and test accordingly before moving to the new system. Thank you for your feedback.

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://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.oclc.org%2FLibrary_Management%2FEZproxy%2FEZproxy_configuration%2FMigrate_to_Proxy_by_Hostname&data=02%7C01%7Csamson%40uta.edu%7Cff914e3f671745d363df08d74737be7c%7C5cdc5b43d7be4caa8173729e3b0a62d9%7C0%7C1%7C637056177059635899&sdata=qNV8IYDPLnXKtkqjYm1WyY1Ymx5MTlMjtUA2vriQ0oI%3D&reserved=0> or contact OCLC Support<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oclc.org%2Fen%2Fcontacts%2Fsupport.html&data=02%7C01%7Csamson%40uta.edu%7Cff914e3f671745d363df08d74737be7c%7C5cdc5b43d7be4caa8173729e3b0a62d9%7C0%7C1%7C637056177059635899&sdata=iMWVPDkocNY%2BEERKZ8fApmlLl6CAkw72Z9yW82SsJ3s%3D&reserved=0>.
