Hi everybody, for a squid-"http_access allow"-whitelist I need to know (if possible) which URLs are linked into vufind 1.4 or to be more precise what URLs I can expect to surface in my squid's access-logs. At the moment the whitelist/authentication is inactive so the access-log is pretty much unanalysable, but I'd much rather avoid having to grep for those "denied access"-entries because those would of course mean that users weren't able to use our catalog. :-( Thanks Kate |

I'm not that familiar with Squid -- is this a matter of understanding which URLs VuFind can possibly generate, which external URLs will link to VuFind, or which external URLs VuFind will point to? If you can let me know a little more specifically what you need, I might be able to give you a better answer. - Demian > -----Original Message----- > From: Katharina Wolkwitz [mailto:wol...@fh...] > Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 9:27 AM > To: vuf...@li... > Subject: [VuFind-General] Vufind 1.4 URL-whitelist? > > Hi everybody, > > for a squid-"http_access allow"-whitelist I need to know (if possible) which > URLs are linked into vufind 1.4 or to be more precise what URLs I can expect > to > surface in my squid's access-logs. > > At the moment the whitelist/authentication is inactive so the access-log is > pretty much unanalysable, but I'd much rather avoid having to grep for those > "denied access"-entries because those would of course mean that users weren't > able to use our catalog. :-( > > Thanks > Kate > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET > Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost. > Code-level diagnostics for performance bottlenecks with <2% overhead > Download for free and get started troubleshooting in minutes. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/appdyn_d2d_ap1 > _______________________________________________ > VuFind-General mailing list > VuF...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vufind-general |

Hi again, sorry for being so unspecific. I meant those external URLs the VuFind-code might point to because it's using third party software for example. I do not mean URLs related to our data handled by the solr index (for example links to ebooks or ejournals). Our users need to authenticate themselves in order to be able to gain access to "the internet" as a whole but are allowed to use our catalog without authentication. So this is where the whitelist comes in. This is only for a few special internet-PCs provided by the library for the users inside the library-grounds - so it is a special case. As a rule we do not add our ebooks or ejournals to that manually maintained whitelist, but we're going to implement EZproxy in the next few months for that part. Perhaps I'll change over from squid, if EZproxy offers a solution for the above described scenario as well. I haven't even had a chance to look at the documentation yet... ;-) I hope now that's a bit less confusing.

I was having some technical difficulties last week, so this may not have reached the list before.

Hi Demian, thanks for resending it. I guess I'll have to take some late shifts outside library opening hours to test the whitelists/authentications for those internet-PCs with our vufind-catalog after all. Well - can't be helped and it'll have to wait until after I'm back from my vacation at the beginning of July.
