RE: isi and proxy rewrite solution

[Fred McIlvain <FRED.McILVAIN@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We instituted the solution I wrote about after discovering a problem with access to the Journal Citation Reports.  I should really test better.  The solution in my other message does indeed break the "marked list" functions, and we cannot export data from ISI.

I've changed the 2nd forward table entry to:  jcr10.isiknowledge.com

which is the direct link to Journal Citation Reports.  This appears to have fixed everything.  I was able to e-mail citations to myself as well as use the Journal Citation Reports from an off-campus connection.

Thanks for pointing this out, Michael.

Fred

I've tried this with proxy rewrite...it still doesn't work for us. If I
log in without using proxy rewrite, I can print and email records. If I
use proxy rewrite, every time I try to print or email records, I'm
kicked back to a "Starting New Session" screen. I have things set up as
described below, although using "isi4" instead of "isi10" since that's
how we're directed.

I've been working with ISI as well as reading the list and
communicating with other users.  We seem to have solved our current
problems with ISI and are using the following configuration:

Okay, I have to credit this solution to Lorraine Falconer of the Univ.
Of Sydney Library, as well as Vanessa Arce of III, and Chris at ISI.

We had to do three things to get this all to work:

I added two entries to the WAM forward table:

1.  isi10.isiknowledge.com
2.  *.isiknowledge.com

The first is the isi server our site is directed to.  Because it reads
this information first, it gives this entry higher priority than the
second entry, which is used to handle any redirects which may not
include isi10 in the URL.

We also had to change the links on our Website to match the first proxy
entry.  We do not automatically proxy our database links at this time
(although we are going to be doing this soon).  So the link from our
Website to the ISI Web of Knowledge is:

http://isi10.isiknowledge.com/portal.cgi 

When we change this to be automatically proxied, this will be:

http://0-isi10.isiknowledge.com.library.lib.asu.edu/portal.cgi 

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I thought I'd post just
in case.

Have a good holiday everyone.
