My proxied bookmark or link stopped working. How can I fix it?

Answer

  • The easiest way would be to make a new bookmark.  Proxied links to our electronic resources can be found through UC Library Search or through the database list on the Library website.
  • If you would like to manually edit a bookmark or link, please make the changes indicated below:
    • Outdated proxied URLs have "http" instead of "https", and likely contain a port number in the URL.
    • If you see the string http://proxy.library.ucsb.edu:2048/login?url= in your URL, please make the following changes:
      • change http to https
      • remove the port number -- :2048 -- from the middle of the URL.  If you see a different 4-digit number instead of "2048" in this location after ucsb.edu, remove the colon and digits.
      • Your new URL string should be https://proxy.library.ucsb.edu/login?url=
    • Making these two changes should give you a working link that will route you through the proxy server for authentication.
