Diagram Description: The basic use case for EZProxy integrated with Shibboleth involves a flow for interaction between a user and a Library website containing a listing of various web accessed resources and services, such as, but not limited to, various e-journals and research databases. This website uses the EZProxy application to proxy authorized access for users of the library thus allowing them to utilize resources and services. Users are intended to be able to login via some mechanism to authenticate themselves to a group with certain pre-defined authorization privileges based on a variety of attributes possibly associated with the user. The most basic grouping is an authorized patron or member of the community, which may be construed as including but not limited to staff, faculty, alumni and other groups. The browser user has a variety of possible starting points within the website that may take them to the external resource provider directly or which mediates via EZProxy. The threshold trigger for the event occurs when the interaction flow results in an attempt to access restricted resource."
