This module provides a bridge between Drupal and EZProxy.
EZProxy helps provide users with remote access to Web-based licensed content offered by libraries. It is middleware that authenticates library users against local authentication systems and provides remote access to licensed content based on the user’s authorization.
There are three main methods of authenticating between Drupal and EZProxy:
This module provides three methods. Here are the use cases:
1. External script authentication
When you click on a link to go to an EZproxy database, EZproxy will ask you to login. The username and password entered will be sent to Drupal and Drupal will check if the user exists in the system and has the 'access ezproxy content' permission. If the user does have permission, Drupal will report back to EZproxy with a successful logon attempt.
This is a payment gateway for the securepay.com.au gateway (Note: this module will NOT work with the securepay.com gateway as it is an Australian ONLY gateway)
The Feed Block module displays listings from RSS feeds, each stored in Drupal as blocks, each with display configuration (i.e., number of items, whether to display date & descriptive text, etc.
An API module that allows the creation of branded short URLs.
This module is a developer tool that takes URL of any length and produces very short URLs (3-5 characters).
For the User-Interface integration you may want to check-out: Shorten module.
Who Needs This?
You need this module if:
You are creating a localized URL shortener for a country/locale that exisitng URL shorteners do not cover.
You system is behind a firewall and content/URLs can not be shared publicly.
If you want short URLs to carry your own domain, for brand management purposes, much like TechCrunch.com uses http://tcrn.ch domain for short URLs (they do not use this module for the implementation, though, as far as we know :) )
(Please submit examples of other usages, if you are using shorturl to run your shortener).
