This also depends on if your VPN is full tunnel or split tunnel.  Here's my very, very simplified explanation:

If full tunnel, users who are logged into the VPN shouldn't need to authenticate as traffic to the external resource should be seen as coming from 'on-campus'.

If split tunnel, users who are logged into the VPN will need to authenticate because traffic directed to external sites will be using the IP address of the user (I believe).  

We had problems with this while our VPN was split tunnel.  We had to set EZproxy to always authenticate users coming in from our VPNs IP address.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] VPN & EZ Proxy

Hi All,

We use EZ Proxy for authentication and we always tell the staff who uses
VPN to turn their VPN off so they can access our databases.
Is this the right way? Looking for answers around and could not find
any. I thought I would throw this in here.
Thanks for feedbacks.
