RefWorks does not recommend using EZ Proxy for authentication.
EZ Proxy, while it works well for Web of Science, Summon, and other IP authenticated platforms, does not enable authentication for RefWorks. If EZ Proxy is set up for RefWorks, each user will still need to authenticate by logging in to RefWorks with their email/password or SSO credentials. We recommend not setting up EZ Proxy for RefWorks, as it will not act as authentication and does limit RefWorks performance of some features functionality. Users will still be able to seamlessly save references from databases.
Authentication can be done with email and password or via Singe Sign-On (SSO) configuration.
Account creation can rely on email domain(s) or via unique URL + access code or SSO.
These restrictions allow RefWorks to only permit those users who are properly affiliated with the subscriber to create accounts.
If using EZproxy, use the following stanza in configuration:
Option DomainCookieOnly
Title RefWorks
URL http://refworks.proquest.com
HJ https://refworks.proquest.com
DJ refworks.proquest.com
DJ api.refworks.proquest.com
Find &url=http://
Replace &url=http://^A
