Symptom

SSO certificate on EZproxy will be out of date

Applies to

EZproxy SAML authentication

Resolution
  1. check the shibboleth metadata section in the config.txt file and see if a metadata retrieval URL is configured (-URL=)
  2. If it is present, login to the EZproxy admin web page
  3. Click the Manage Shibboleth link
  4. Click the refresh metadata link at the bottom of the page. This will update the metadata from the URL in EZproxy
Additional information

Not all SSO systems support metadata retrieval URLs.  If not, the metadata can be supplied in a file. The file must be copied to the EZproxy directory if the SSO does not support URL metadata retrieval.

When the URL parameter is provided, EZproxy will attempt to retrieve the specified URL at startup and every 24 hours thereafter.

For hosted EZproxy systems, check with support to see if you have a URL configured to retrieve the metadata - OCLC Support
