EZproxy Security FAQ EZproxy Security FAQ The following FAQ provide details about EZproxy V5.7.44 and before. For the most ezproxy wildcard certificate up-to-date information on EZproxy security issues, see EZproxy & OpenSSL and ezproxy ssl certificate SSL Configuration. There are many SSL/TLS-related configuration options in EZproxy. When do I use Option EnableSSLv3, Option ezproxy ssl certificate renewal DisableSSLv2, and SSLCipherSuite? By default, EZproxy V5.7.44 disables SSL 3 and enables SSL2; however it also supports TLS 1.0. These config.txt statements control the SSL/TLS options your

instance of EZproxy will use. Option EnableSSLv3 SSL 2 and SSL 3 are older protocol definitions that normally should not be used. We provide the ability to use them since some legacy environments may need them. If you are using an environment that requires SSL 3, you can force EZproxy to use this protocol ezproxy sslciphersuite by entering the following statement before an LoginPortSSL statements in your config.txt file: Option EnableSSLv3 For more details on SSL 2 and SSL 3, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#SSL_1.0.2C_2.0_and_3.0. This article also describes transport level security (TLS), the successor to SSL 2 and SSL 3. Option DisableSSLv2 By default, EZproxy V5.7.44 disables SSL 3 and enables SSL 2. Because EZproxy V5.7.44 supports TLS 1.0 for client to webserver interactions, OCLC recommends that you also disable SSL 2 in addition to the default-disabled SSL 3.To do this, place the following statement before any LoginPortSSL statements in your config.txt file: Option DisableSSLv2 After disabling SSL 2 and retaining the default setting of disabled SSL 3, your EZproxy will default to TLS 1.0. EZproxy V6.0 will have the same SSL/TLS settings as V5.7.44. EZproxy V6.1 will be built with OpenSSL V1.x, and we plan to support TLS 1.1 and 1.2 with this build. EZproxy 6.1 will disable both SSL 3 and SSL 2 by default. SSLCipherSu

rare occasion, institutions already have a certificate with a name of *.yourlib.org. If you import this certificate manually and are using proxy by port, you will receive no errors, do not need this option, and can stop reading here. For proxy http://osdir.com/ml/education.ezproxy/2005-04/msg00012.html by hostname, the following occurs: By default, when EZproxy sees a certificate that starts with *, it assumes that the certificate would be of the form *.ezproxy.yourlib.org, which is the form needed to avoid http://library.aup.edu/ezproxy/faq.html all browser warnings. For those using proxy by hostname, take a moment to review: http://www.usefulutilities.com/support/cfg/ssl/certopts.html in the proxy by hostname column for the two purchased certificate options. To avoid all warnings in proxy by hostname, ezproxy ssl you must use a certificate with a name like *.ezproxy.yourlib.org. When EZproxy sees * at the start of a certificate, it assumes it is this type of certificate and changes its own name for https purposes to login.eproxy.yourlib.org. The login. at the start matches the *., which avoids warnings. In some cases, institutions already own a certificate of the form *.yourlib.org. This certificate is capable of matching ezproxy.yourlib.org, which ezproxy ssl certificate means that it is capable of acting like a "purchased regular" certificate. When you choose to use a certificate like this, you must warn EZproxy that it isn't a *.ezproxy.yourlib.org certificate by adding: Option IgnoreWildcardCertificate to ezproxy.cfg. When you do this, EZproxy avoids adding login. to the front of its name, which can eliminate the browser warnings DURING LOGIN ONLY. You will still get browser warnings when you proxy https web sites. The one and only way to avoid browser warnings in proxy by hostname is to purchase a wildcard certificate based on your EZproxy server's name. If anyone has specific questions that relate to their certificates, please feel free to follow up off-list so we can discuss this. Chris -- Chris Zagar

Asked to accept a certificate If you are asked to accept a certificate when you log in to a database, click Yes and then continue to the database. This is a result of the update to the proxy server software. Since EZProxy now supports Secure Socket Layers, you may be asked to accept a certificate at sites that use SSL.
