Update EDP Sciences EZProxy configuration
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

EDP Sciences has a lot of domains (https://github.com/WikipediaLibrary/twlight_ezproxy/blob/master/ezproxy.cfg#L351). We pulled this list from their provided CSV (linked at that link), but it looks like that doesn't quite include everything.

The following URL patterns need to be added to the EDP Sciences config:

  • *.epj.org (there are a number of different subdomains here, I can get the full list if needed)
  • agronomy-journal.org
  • annphys.org
  • *.water-quality-journal.org (has subdomains)
  • laboutique.edpsciences.fr
  • rdmbd.org
  • eas-journal.org
  • shf-lhb.org
  • medecine-nutrition.org
  • photoniques.com
  • quadrature-journal.org
  • refletsdelaphysique.fr
  • sfen.org (has subdomains)
  • journal-therapie.org

Event Timeline

So, I added these, but there are some things to talk through:

  • It looks like those urls aren't getting prefixed in the search results page, so I'd need to poke through the markup generated by their solr instance. Not a problem.
  • when I manually build a proxied link to one of those journals, it doesn't look like we have access. It looks like these are just indexed resources for which we are not authorized to access the full text. example for the water quality journal

I realised that I didn't directly ask a question here, though I meant to: are we sure we're actually supposed to be authorized for these additional titles?

Good question, I'll contact EDP and find out.

Still waiting for a response, have pinged.

It looks like not:

You should access all the content, let me know if it is not the case.
For the European Journal of Water Quality, it is normal as we are not publishing this journal anymore.

Therefore I assume our current setup is sufficient for the content they're currently publishing. @Nikkimaria does this make sense to you?

At least some entries from the initial list appear to still be published by EDP.

laboutique.edpsciences.fr is also still active but is an ebook store so may not be part of our access.

Ok, let's get that list added so that they're proxied correctly then.

There's already an entry for epj.org. If there is a problem, I'll need some specific subdomains to test.

I have the other 3 hostnames marked for deployment to staging.

Still not able to access articles from https://www.shf-lhb.org via staging - can get to abstracts but am asked to log in for full text. @Samwalton9 the specific EPJ articles seems to be accessed via Springer Link even though the branding is still EDP - not sure if there's a way to make this transparent for users?

Odd, not really sure what we can do here.

@Nikkimaria are the urls getting proxied (but still denying access) or are you getting dropped from the proxy and connected directly?

also, these changes got moved to production, so you can now check there as well.

EPJ articles are on the Springer proxied links. LHB links are getting proxied but still denying access.

EPJ articles are on the Springer proxied links

So clicking into EPJ takes you across to Springer?

LHB links are getting proxied but still denying access

OK so that's something we need to check with EDP.

Yep, EPJ journals are accessible via EDP but the actual articles are link.springer.com links. Fortunately if you have Springer access already the links work seamlessly, but since it's not Bundle not everyone will.

So ... is this waiting on anything on the technical side from us? It sounds there either needs to be a configuration change on the edp side, or that it can't really be a separate resource from springer.

This is close enough that I think we can mark it as done and move on.
