Summon Research Assistant via proxy
Integrate Summon Research Assistant (SRA) with a proxy client, such as EZproxy. Currently the only way for patrons to use SRA with a proxy client is by following the authentication banner link.
We don't use Microsoft or Google authentication and our federated SSO service is not supported. We don't require authentication for anything but RSA so we prefer not use the authentication banner.
It would be helpful if we could set up the RSA link button to redirect via proxy server (e.g. https://windesheim.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://windesheim.summon.serialssolutions.com/#!/research_assistant?)
We now have a css file set up to display a proxified custom link based on whether the RSA link is visible or not (if it is not, the user is off campus and a proxy link will show). See comment. Note that custom links open in a new tab and there is no automatic redirect to the AI tool.

While the proposed idea is a very simple solution, we now have a more complex, less user friendly and sensitive workaround in place:
This is the CSS code (rule 1 - 4) used to show and hide a proxified RSA button. It's a custom link with the title "AI Research Assistant".https://assets.summon.serialssolutions.com/6909bff42133bc22c13e0c01
