Why don certain features or links in the database seem to function when Im using the proxy server?
The various database vendors use a variety of programming methods on their database web sites. Some of these methods can make it hard for the proxy server to keep passing information between you and the site. If certain links or other aspects of the site aren’t functioning, there are a few primary possibilities: • The proxy server’s configuration for the database needs to be adjusted If these features function when accessing the resource from on-campus (which does not use the proxy server), then the proxy server’s configuration may have to be adjusted to adapt to the database’s particular method • Problem is with vendor’s site Like any information technology, there are often problems on the vendor’s end that lead to problems with the database. These problems are generally resolved fairly quickly once the vendor is aware of them.
