Recommended EZproxy Configuration for PsycNET
T (Title of the link) APA PsycNET
U (URL of the link) https://psycnet.apa.org
D (domain, including the proxy) apa.org
D (each D can add another domain — see below) psycnet.apa.org
The “D” tells the proxy server to continue facilitating requests for any domain ending in apa.org (technically, it could be others as well).
IMPORTANT:
- Current IP information: Be sure all IP address(es) used by your institution’s proxy server are appearing in your APA PsycNet Admin Center > Admin Tools section. Proxy access will be disrupted if the proxy IP list is incomplete. Send any IP updates (additions or deletions) to psycinfo@apa.org.
- EZProxy version 6.1.12 or later: Earlier versions are incompatible with the TLS 1.2 protocol needed for access.
- SSL configuration: Your EZproxy server must be configured for SSL. View the SSL configuration page on the OCLC help site for more information:

Update EZproxy Stanza for Management of APA PsycNet Cookie Preferences
As of June 2023, APA recommends adding the Cookie-Law directive to the top of the APA PsycNet stanza:
- If your institution has an OCLC-hosted EZproxy instance: Contact OCLC to request the addition of the cookie-law directive (IncludeFile databases/cookielaw.txt) to the beginning of your institution’s APA PsycNet stanza.
- If your institution has a stand-alone/self-hosted EZproxy instance: Add the configuration block posted on OCLC’s website to the beginning of your institution’s APA PsycNet stanza.
- Please contact OCLC technical support if you have any questions about your OCLC-hosted EZproxy or applying the Cookie-Law block to your self-hosted stanza.
This update corrects an EZproxy bug that can cause the footer banner for APA PsycNet cookie preferences to repeatedly pop up.
