Intota: Proxy Setup

Dynix RPA

Have your RPA Proxy prefix URL ready (Example: http://000.74.92.10/rpa/webauth.exe?rs=xxx&ur=). If you don't know the proxy prefix, check with your proxy administrator.

1. Create new resource codes that match the database codes in our Knowledgebase.

2. Contact Library Support (using the Contact Us menu above) for a list of the database codes that need to be added.

3. Log on to the RPA Admin module.

4. Locate the existing resource code entry for each database, select Copy, and then add the database code. To distinguish copies from the existing database codes, your library can add SS: before the database name.

5. In the Proxy URL field in Intota's Library Settings page displayed above, make sure that you remove any hard-coded resource codes and enter rs=xxx instead, as our system automatically enters the database code.

EZProxy

In the Proxy URL field be sure to include /login?url=.

Innovative Interfaces (III)

Your III proxy URL is usually the domain name of your catalog; for example, http://lib.uri.edu. If you don't know the proxy URL, check with your proxy administrator.

In the Proxy URL field, make sure you remove 0- from the proxy prefix, as our system automatically adds it. For example, if you put http://lib.uri.edu in the Proxy URL field, then the URLs will be the following:

Obvia

In the Proxy URL field, be sure to enter your Obvia prefix URL.

OpenAthens Redirector

In the Proxy URL field, enter your Redirector prefix URL.

Configure special article linking parameters for EBSCOhost databases (Authentication Type and Customer ID) and ProQuest databases (Account ID) on their respective Database Details pages.

Fully Encoded URL

In order to work successfully with third party proxy servers like EZProxy and III s WAM, the default setup for Intota does not generate URLs that are 100% fully encoded. If your library uses another type of proxy server (such as one that your library developed on its own), you may want Intota to generate fully encoded URLs that comply with the Internet Engineering Task Force s RFCs (Request for Comments) such as RFC 2616 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1) and RFC 2396 (Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax).

1. Select Fully Coded URL from the Authentication Type drop-down menu displayed above.

   If your proxy server is listed in the Authentication Type drop-down menu, you should select it; you should not select Fully Coded URL.

2. Enter your proxy URL in the Proxy URL field.

3. Select Save.
