Hi, As a follow-up to the email I sent last week, the attack to our EZproxy server stopped. The blacklist has been lifted. Users should have no problems accessing databases.

We are blacklisting certain countries where the attacks were from. As a result, legitimate users from those countries will also be blocked. They will see the following webpage and have to contact IST in order to whitelist their specific IP addresses.

Off Campus Authentication Working Again
by Allison Erhardt 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

Hi All, doesn't look like anyone is on chat right now, but I've got off campus authentication working again. It was I who broke it yesterday. Moral of the story: don't make changes at 4:30 on a Friday during a strike and only test from on campus. Lesson Learned: I like working from home in my PJs. :-P Please accept my apologies for those who had to deal with angry people. I'm sorry about that. Allison
