Hi there,

 

I know it has been a while. But the logging issue with MyNCBI through EZproxy has been resolved.

 

Please feel free to contact us if there are any other problems.

 

Have a good weekend.

Subject: MyNCBI (PubMed): login issues

 

Hi Wade and Wei,

 

A number of us have noted that we’re having difficult accessing MyNCBI, which is a component of PubMed:

https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.uml.idm.oclc.org/account/?back_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.uml.idm.oclc.org%2Fpubmed%3Fotool%3Dicaumlib

 

Lori and Carol (copied) have provided some feedback to this effect (I’ve attached the email). The problems persist (I’ve just re-tested as of 10 minutes ago).

 

Specifically, the “Sign in to NCBI” box located on the left-hand side does not appear to accept credentials when entered, and puts the user into a loop of cascading windows within that window. I believe that the problem may be linked to our proxy. As Carol notes, when accessing MyNCBI from the un-proxied version of PubMed, everything works as it should (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/).

 

We have tested this on a WRHA computer, our “off-campus” computer, and on several UofM computers with different OS’s and browsers, all with the same result. We rely on MyNCBI fairly heavily, so I suspect that we may start hearing from our users fairly soon about this issue. Can you help?

 

Thanks,

Sherri
