Methods of Access
IP Authentication: Institutional subscribers submit their network IP ranges to McGraw-Hill
during subscription setup. These ranges are verified and loaded into the system, and all users
coming from inside the range are automatically provided seamless access.
Referrer URL/Domain: Institutional subscribers can place registered links to AccessEngineering
behind their secure login (e.g., a library site that has already validated a student). The
institution must register the domain and URLs where the links are placed with McGraw-Hill
during subscription setup. These links will then seamlessly log the user into AccessEngineering
every time they are clicked, whether on-site or remotely.
EZproxy: Remote access to AccessEngineering via EZproxy requires EZproxy 2.4c GA (2004-0321) or later combined with this database definition:
