Bibliotele

2026-01-05

In order to provide access to resources that use https, your EZproxy server must be configured with an SSL certificate.

Overview

EZproxy is not used to proxy access to Bibliotele. When you create links to Bibliotele, you will create direct links to Bibliotele with no reference to EZproxy. Instead of proxying access, EZproxy is instead linked with Bibliotele to handle user authentication when a user browses Bibliotele content.

When a user clicks on the access URL https://ezproxy.yourlibrary.edu/sso/bibliotele they will be directed to the library's authentication page and, upon successful authentication, they will then be directed to the Bibliotele's dashboard, where they can browse the content. There will be no proxy URL in the address bar.

Configuration

Bibliotele does not use a traditional database stanza. It requires a single, special entry in config.txt that looks like this:

SSO -Secret=your-secret-key-here -HASH=SHA256 -URL=https://auth.bibliotele.com/auth/ezproxy/abc123xyz789 bibliotele

You will need to contact Bibliotele to receive an Institution UID, Shared Secret, and Authentication URL in order to configure this SSO stanza. 

Example:

  • Institution UID: abc123xyz789
  • Shared Secret: your-secret-key-here
  • Authentication URL: https://auth.bibliotele.com/auth/ezproxy/abc123xyz789 bibliotele

Once the stanza is added to the EZproxy server, users can access Bibliotele like any other database.
