This is affecting both off campus and on campus access, as our EZproxy system isn’t able to load the login pages for our off campus users and our on campus users can’t get past any proxied link because the EZproxy system isn’t available.
I have a ticket into BCTC but haven’t been able to get any more info yet on whether network issues may be affecting our access to the EZproxy server.
Workarounds (only available for on campus users)
If you are are on campus, you can still get to our proxied resources as follows:
- Copy the full link of the resource you are trying to connect with.
- Paste that link into Notepad on your computer. Delete the initial portion of the link that begins with https://remote.baruch.cuny.edu/login?url= and then copy the remainder of the link.
- Paste that remainder of the link into a new browser tab or window. That should take you directly to the resource instead of having it go first through the EZproxy server here on campus.
Example: You want to go to Academic Search Complete. Copy the link to the database and paste it into Notepad. The URL will like this:
https://remote.baruch.cuny.edu/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=a9h
Delete the portion at the front that begins with https://remote.baruch.cuny.edu/login?url=
That leaves you with something you can copy and paste back into your browser as long as you are on campus:
https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=a9h
