Setting Up EZproxy Authentication for Home Access to Adventure Academy

To enable seamless home access to Adventure Academy for library patrons, you can set up EZproxy authentication. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on configuring EZproxy to authenticate users remotely, ensuring secure and easy access to the platform. Learn how to integrate EZproxy with your library’s system, troubleshoot common issues, and optimize the authentication process for a smooth user experience. Follow this setup to extend Adventure Academy’s educational resources beyond the library.

If you would like to use EZproxy to remotely authenticate your library patrons who are logging in to Adventure Academy, please send us the required information in the first two sections and then have your IT folks complete the two steps at the bottom.
