Hi everyone,

Before I get in contact with OCLC, does anyone have a working stanza for the new Westlaw UK platform https://uk.westlaw.com/Browse/Home/WestlawUk?comp=wluk&transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&firstPage=true? There isn't one on the Database Stanzas page.

I'm conscious that the old platform will be shut down in a month so I want to make sure that this is up and running!

They do recommend moving to SSO but I doubt we'll be able to get this organized so quickly. See below for a message I received from Thomson Reuters:
IP Access Issues?


We are aware of issues some customers have been experiencing accessing Westlaw UK via IP authenticated links.



Accounts experiencing issues have been using Proxy IPs to enable links for onsite and offsite access. Although it has been possible to modify Westlaw UK links to accommodate this type of access in the past, the bespoke nature of the links means that they cannot be supported or tested in the way that standard IP links and Single Sign-On can.



Please note that we do not provide support for Proxy servers and you will need to contact OCLC about configuring your settings. We would like to advise all users of these services that Westlaw UK cannot guarantee the integrity of these links moving forward.

We recommend you take this opportunity to upgrade your access method to Single Sign-On. Should you be interested please contact us.

Kind regards,

Tracey
