Thank you to George, and everyone else who came through with advice.  It
did come down to having EBSCO make some changes in our profile and
VOILA!  the links are working.

Thank you all for being such a rich resource!

Contact EBSCO support. They were able to configure us to create properly
proxied persistent URLs.

My apologies, 

I originally sent this with no subject line.

Hello wise colleagues!

 

My hope is that someone out there will have already come up with some
absurdly simple solution to my latest problem...

 

Our library subscribes to EBSCO databases and our off-campus users are
pushed through the WAM proxy to access these databases.  This has
presented no problems in the past, but now our professors are placing
persistent links to articles on their E-Class sites and those links do
not work.  The students off-campus are asked for login information by
EBSCO.  We tried opening the database first, using the proxy URL, then
clicking the persistent link to an article, but that does not work.

 

Any ideas how to get my students through the proxy to persistent links
to articles?  

 

Thanks in advance!
