360 Core: OpenAthens Redirector Proxy Setup
- Product: 360 Core Client Center
How do I set up the OpenAthens Redirector?
When configuring Redirector, make sure that you have your Redirector prefix URL ready. If you do not know what it is, please contact your proxy administrator.
We support OpenAthens via fully encoded URL and Redirector.
If you are using EBSCOhost customer IDs to authenticate, you must pick the Redirector option.

Open the Library Settings page (Home > Manage Your Library > Library Settings) and then select Library URLs from the menu on the left side.

The proxy will not be ready until the next day. To ensure that it works without waiting a day to find out, you can test the proxied journal-level links through the URL Preview link on the Client Center's Data Management page (Home > Management Tools > Data Management):
