  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF
Symptom
  • You may have a single account that you wish to block from EZproxy. But you don't want to block them from other services using your SIP authentication
Applies to
  • Hosted or Standalone EZproxy
Resolution
  1. Open your user.txt file
  2. Locate your SIP authentication block (It begins with ::SIP. It ends with /SIP)
  3. Add a line similar to this 
    1. If auth:AA eq "BARCODE OR USERNAME"; deny deny.htm
    2. Note AA is the attribute for username in Polaris. If you have another attribute you would like to block that is being used you must look this up on your SIP server.
  4. Save the user.txt file. No restart is needed for changes to the user.txt to take effect
Additional information
