EZAdmin

An open source, web-based application that allows staff to easily manage EZProxy resource configuration files without requiring direct access to the EZProxy server.

Overview

EZAdmin provides a graphical user interface for non-technical staff to manage EZProxy configuration files without requiring direct access to the EZProxy server. Staff can create resources, add URLs or custom configurations, and track whether or not the resources are restricted to certain user types.

 

How We Did It

EZAdmin is an open source PHP/MySQL application. It uses Active Directory authentication for staff access. It provides users with an easy-to-understand form for entering hosts and domains, as a well as a free text field for custom configurations. This data is then converted into EZProxy's stanza format. The EZProxy application picks up the edited configuration files several times each day and puts them into production.
