Dear all,
An authentication problem:
We subscribe to a membership site with domain e.g. www.foo.org.uk
It doesn't offer IP authentication. We have a username and password.
We can't use the "FormVariable" directive to submit the login form, because the form contains a constantly-changing session variable.
Instead we can use Find/Replace to populate the login form and virtually click the submit button.
This logs the user in, and they see the logged-in portion of the site with proxied domain www.foo.org.uk.proxy.institution.ac.uk
HOWEVER. The full-text content of the site which is actually useful to the end user is actually held on a separate domain e.g. www.imaginarycontentserver.com
It *appears* that www.imaginarycontentserver.com will only accept referrals from www.foo.org.uk/loggedinpage
But our users are coming from the proxied domain www.foo.org.uk.proxy.institution.ac.uk/loggedinpage, which www.imaginarycontentserver.com rejects.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use EZproxy so that referrals to www.imaginarycontentserver.com come from www.foo.org.uk rather than www.foo.org.uk.proxy.institution.ac.uk ?
Many thanks,
Paul
P.S. for the record, the actual site is http://www.afpe.org.uk/, with the full text content held on http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/
