    Linking to Proquest HTTPS Gateway

    • Product: Alma

     


    Description

    In light of the change in ProQuest customer-facing platforms from HTTP to HTTPS our Content Operations teams have taken action to address this change and all links to ProQuest platforms have been updated accordingly.

     

    For our customers who use EZProxy but have not updated to the latest version (v. 6x), we have discovered that HTTPS URL’s will result in an error.

    Resolution

    We have reverted all ProQuest URL’s back to HTTP and ProQuest platform will automatically redirect to HTTPS.

     

    This change will be part of the 4th June Alma CKB update (The 20172500 Alma CKB update that will be released on June 25th).

     

    Please note that at some point the redirects will be removed, and linking will have to be done via HTTPS URLs only.
    We strongly recommend that you update your EZProxy to the latest version (v. 6x), in order to prevent linking difficulties in the future.

    Please see ProQuest Support for HTTPS  for additional information.

     

    If you have any further questions, please submit a support case.
