How do I create a URL that forces a user to log into the OpenAthens service?
Proxied URLs are useful for sharing links with current ATSU affiliates who may want to access the resources from off campus. These proxied URLs provide a means for authentication using a valid ATSU account and password. Creating a link to a course reading in Canvas is one example.
To format a URL that will automatically require the user to log in to the proxy service, prepend https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&encode=1&proxy=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.openathens.net%2Fredirector%2Fatsu.edu%3Furl%3D&target= to the actual URL. For example:
https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&encode=1&proxy=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.openathens.net%2Fredirector%2Fatsu.edu%3Furl%3D&target=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bioe.12084/epdf
The second method is to find the article in the Still OneSearch and use the permalink in the Ebsco record.
