You can set up proxy rewrite so that it will ask for authentication only
from off-campus.  Basically what you do is go to the Limit Network
Access(which is under Login Names and Parameters, for some reason known only
to III), then select HTTP and add all of your campus IPs giving them an
arbitrary service level between 1-9 (we use 3).  Then update your WAM table
so that in the Ver? Column it says the same number (3).  After this is set
up, your on-campus students should be able to access the databases without
logging in.  

Example from our limit network access HTTP table:
      REMOTE HOST              ACCESS?        LOGIN NAME     SERVICE LEVEL
 01 > xxx.xxx.xx.              Yes            web            3

Example from our WAM table:
     Token      IP/HostName    	 Srv 	Ver? 	Ptype      Home   DB ID
Database Name
01 > fsp        *.oclc.org      	 0   	3   	0-5,20,22,
FirstSearch

This is covered in the III user manuals, but for some reason I cannot get
the manual to pull up for me right now to double check where.

Subject: Using proxy rewrite with service levels FAQ?

I've been digging through the III manual, CSDirect and the IUG archives, but
I'm still at a loss.  
We have tested the proxy rewrite successfully for off-campus users to our
databases.  My question is, if I have one master web page with a list of all
of our electronic resources (with the links in the proxy rewrite format),
how do I allow on-campus users to pass through and bypass the authentication
screen?
I'm assuming I have to work with both the Limit Network Access (HTTP) and
the WAM forwarding table and service levels, but I could not find a real
working example.
Unless I should have 2 separate web pages on our library web server (one for
on-campus and one for off-campus users)?  Seems like there should be an
easier solution.
Thanks,
