pac-file-for-browser

A ready-to-use PAC file to filter accesses to some paper repositories through the ISTI proxy.
This way, users can access content that would normally require authentication, as if they were on the internal CNR network.
Requirement: VPN must be connected.

Configuration

The only configuration needed is to specify in the browser settings the permanent address of the raw PAC file: https://gitea-s2i2s.isti.cnr.it/biagio.peccerillo/pac-file-for-browser/raw/branch/main/proxy-isti.pac
Any update to the online file will be automatically acquired at browser startup.
