Technical Requirements for Institutional Access to The CSE Manual Online

The CSE Manual Online website requires JavaScript and Cookies in order for institutional users to view protected content. The site sets session and persistent cookies. The persistent cookies will expire after 30 minutes of inactivity, but they automatically renew when the user attempts to access the site again.

Domain Names

If institutions access the site via proxy or use any other security software on their networks, settings must allow both Javascript and Cookies and allow redirects between the following two domains:

1. Main Website Content Access 
   https://www.csemanual.org
2. Authentication Access Service (not accessible directly)
   https://login.csemanual.org

Please link to www.csemanual.org to access content. The ninth edition is the default edition when logging in. The eighth edition is easily accessible from the Home page.

Security

Please note that the authentication service now uses SSL; the https://login.csemanual.org runs on https.
