Completed Project
https://github.com/CSU-ULMS/EZProxy-Alma-Authentication
Goals
- Utilize Alma data to ensure e-resource is restricted to users who have active accounts in Alma.
Background and strategic fit
E-resource license agreements limit usage to users who have active accounts in Alma. LDAP authentication for some campuses does not accurately reflect student enrollment status.
Assumptions
- EZproxy is already deployed.
- User accounts in Alma provide updated account expiration dates.
