Re: [CODE4LIB] EZProxy changes / alternatives ?

2014-02-03 Thread Andrew Anderson
For me it’s a little more concrete, and a little less abstract when it comes to why a viable alternative to EZproxy is necessary. It has very little to do with the cost of EZproxy itself, and much more to do with support, features, and functionality. There exists a trivial DoS attack against

I'd add to the list that EZProxy integration with Shibboleth is fairly minimal; for example, it doesn't support chaining attribute authorities, which is an issue for us. We opened a ticket several years requesting that feature, but realistically, I doubt it will ever get added. If EZProxy

I realize that the EZProxy list is the vendor's list but to some extent, I think some of this conversation needs to happen there too. Perhaps there's others there who can support an initiative to develop some sort of an alternative. However, many libraries on that list though will be in the

I think it also useful to think about this from the service provider’s perspective. There have been a few calls for enhancements/fixes in this thread, but with no source of ongoing revenue (for self-hosted installations, at least) I don’t know how we can realistically expect the service

Peter, I think that's a good point, but OCLC knew upfront that this is the model for this product when they acquired it. So, this should have been part of the calculation when considering the acquisition -- but this component fills a very important part of their overall authentication stack for
