EZproxy 5.1c now available

The library industry's leading authentication and access solution has been enhanced again. OCLC encourages all users to upgrade to this latest version (EZproxy5.1c) to stay current with product improvements and fixes.

Enhanced features include:

• When using the Shibboleth Discovery Service in previous versions of EZproxy, only Shibboleth 2.0 IdPs could be accessed. This release now supports both Shibboleth 1.3 and Shibboleth 2.0 IdPs.
• Introduces RedirectSafe directive to identify Web sites with free content to which EZproxy should redirect users without generating a warning about the resource not being configured.  This directive is intended for use by sites that currently use "Option RedirectUnknown" which suppressed the same warning, but operated for any destination URL. Phishing sites have begun to employ this behavior to create links that start with the EZproxy server name, but that lead to their own servers.

See more details and a full list of changes.

Upgrade now to EZproxy 5.1c.
