[IUG] Using DRAM database with proxy

["Dawn Murdock" <murdock at adelphi dot edu>]

Hello all,
We're looking into purchasing a database known as DRAM (Database of Recorded American Music), but we've come across a difficulty in that we cannot gain access using the Innovative proxy rewrite URL.  Tech support at DRAM has indicated that this is because of the way they set up their authentication system and not because we made a mistake with our proxy entry.  Apparently, the only proxy rewrite work-around they've dealt with so far has been with EZproxy, which doesn't apply to us.  

Has anyone else dealt with trying to set up proxy access to this database?  If you have been successful in finding a way to make it work, we'd really love to know how!   

Just FYI, their solution for access via EZproxy is to configure the server using the following entries:

- NeverProxy dram.nyu.edu
- Title DRAM
- URL https://didp.nyu.edu/shibboleth/HS?target=http%3A%2F%2Fdram.nyu.edu%2Fdram%2Fsecure&shire=http%3A%2F%2Fdram.nyu.edu%2FSHIRE
- HJ didp.nyu.edu

Thanks for any input!
