Portal connection problem resolved

Consortium Luxembourg’s electronic documentation portal experienced problems when attempting to connect and access resources this morning.  This problem has now been resolved.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
 

Proxy Server Changes Complete

The changes announced to the proxy server for this morning, Thu, 16 Dec, have been successfully completed.

Please note that your firewall should now allow access for *.proxy.bnl.lu to ports 80 and 443 (see 101216 Proxy v6).

The problem below has been resolved.

For certain products, a certificate error is received (ex: Dalloz).  This problem will be resolved in the coming weeks but in the meantime, in order to access sites which use secure connections (Https) you must accept the certificate exception.  In order to do this, please follow the instructions below depending on your browser.

Internet Explorer

In Internet Explorer, you will receive a message stating that Internet Explorer has blocked a security certificate error.  Simply click on the error message and then click on “Display Blocked Content”.

Firefox

In Firefox, you will receive a screen entitled “This Connection is Untrusted”.

Click on the arrow next to “I Understand the Risks”.

Click on “Add Exception”.

If you select “Permanently store this exception” then you only need to perform this procedure once. Click on “Confirm Security Exception”.

Google Chrome

Please use another browser as Google Chrome does not provide an option to accept the certificate security exception.
 

Maintenance – Changes to Proxy – Thursday 16 December

After this upgrade, if you have any direct links to products in the portal saved in your bookmarks, you must re-create them via the portal.

On the 16th December the site http://portail.bnu.lu will not be accessible from 7h30  to 9h00.

The Proxy server will be reconfigured and change from the current system of « high-ports » (http://proxy.bnl.lu:2067/…) to a system of « sub-domains » (http://springerlink.proxy.bnl.lu/…).

For continued access to the full functionalities of the portal after the 16th December, you must have access to port 80 on the server « proxy.bnl.lu ».

If no further notice is given, you may block ports :2048 and :2050 to :3550 from 20th December.
