| In order to restrict access to certain web pages
within IIT, OTS has set up an EZProxy
server proxy.iit.edu.
What is Proxy.iit.edu?
Proxy.iit.edu is service for providing your users with remote access
to your restricted websites within IIT. It is available for any kind of
web server. It operates as an intermediary server between your users and
your restricted web server. Your users connect to proxy.iit.edu, then
it connects on their behalf to your server to obtain web pages and send
them back to your users.
Types of restriction
There are various kinds of access controls that can be specified.
- Allow only IIT staff and/or students - IIT staff or students
accessing your restricted website from a network outside IIT will be
prompted for their IIT email and password, and will only be allowed
if they are authenticated. This feature has been used in the OTS
Software Downloads page to limit access to IIT software to legitimate
IIT staff and students.
- Password protect websites - Websites can be password protected
using a pop/imap email server, ldap server, text file and various other
authentication systems.
- IP restricted resources - Access to IP restricted resources
can be given through proxy.iit.edu.
