The RMMO is accessible and usable by a wide community. It works and displays satisfactorily on all major and common browsers within our target market. To this end, the site is fully compliant with levels 1 and 2 of the W3C accessibility guidelines (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/), and the site design is also informed by section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (USA) and other relevant accessibility laws.

The site is fully responsive allowing it to adjust to your Tablet or Mobile device
What types of site access are available?
The Royal Marsden Manual Online supports four authentication methods: Dedicated IP, OpenAthens Identification, Referrer URL (sometimes also called HTTP Referrer) and username and password. We offer these access methods to ensure that we always have at least one suitable option for any institution wishing to purchase the Royal Marsden Manual Online.
IP Recognition
IP range recognition technology allows seamless authentication from within the area of the recognised IP range in an institution. Users do not have to follow any special log-in instructions, remember any usernames or passwords or have to be logged into their intranet in order to access the Royal Marsden Manual Online. As the log-in is seamless, this means that users can set up bookmarks, e.g. to their favourite procedures, through their browser without the need to log-in beforehand.
By giving Wiley-Blackwell the IP ranges of your Department or Faculty, you will not be compromising your security settings. Wiley-Blackwell will not be able to access your Department or Faculty's secure network and will not communicate the IP Range to any third parties. (Example: IP 192.999.0.0/26)
When providing IP addresses, please make sure you provide all possible ranges, otherwise access may fail or become intermittent.
IP addresses must be dedicated to your network and must not be shared IPs
Shared means other people use your IP address for their connection or websites.
Dedicated means no one else uses your IP address for their connection or websites.
OpenAthens User Access
To set up the OpenAthens access you (the person responsible for your Department or Faculty’s web-services) will have to provide Wiley with the entity ID and organization ID for each your Department or Faculty. To log-in, members of your institution will have to first navigate to the Royal Marsden Manual Online (www.rmmonline.co.uk) and click login. If using NICE just follow the link from 'MY Resources'
UK Federation Entity ID - This is the Entity ID in the UK Federation. If this is present it should be used.
OA Federation Entity ID - This is the Entity ID in the Open Athens Federation. If the UK Federation Entity ID is not present then this should be used.
Federation Scope - This is the Organization ID. This should always be present
For a list of organizations please refer to http://auth.athensams.net/list_orgs.php
For further advice on OpenAthen refer to http://www.openathens.net/
If you are not able to gain access via OpenAthens or via NICE please check the following.
Royal Marsden Manual is available via OpenAthens and is accessible from the NICE Resources Page. The access URL is
https://wiley-rmm10-sp.sams-sigma.com
The access URL should already be populated within your OpenAthens Administrator pages for Royal Marsden Manual, if not it will need to be added.
If OpenAthens suddenly stops working at your Faculty please take the following steps:-
Are all OpenAthens resources via the NICE Resource pages affected or is it just Royal MarsdenIf all resources are affected then this is an issue which should be referred back to Eduserv Support Desk +44 (0) 1225 474333
Setting up a WAYFless URL?
WAYF stands for Where Are You From, e.g your organisation. WAYFless means you can bypass the step where you have to choose your organisation before logging into OpenAthens
We have a public generator tool for creating your WAYFless URL:
To create a Wayfless URL for your organization you can go to:
- And enter the following details:
- Entity ID: (example: https://idp.eng.nhs.uk/openathens )
- Encrypted packet receiver URL: https://www.rmmonline.co.uk/SHIBBOLETH
- Deep link URL: This field can be used if direct linking to specific content is required
- Click on the "create" button
The generator then provides the WAYFless URL:
Referring URL Access
To set up the Referring URL access, you (the person responsible for your Faculty web-services) will have to provide us with an address of a web page from a secure web site where access information is given only to the members of your Faculty (an intranet page for example).
If your intranet page is HTTP then you need to link to http://www.rmmonline.co.uk
If your intranet page is HTTPS then you need to link to https://www.rmmonline.co.uk
To log in, members of your Faculty will have to first navigate to that secure web page and then click on the link to the Royal Marsden Manual Online.
At that point, the Royal Marsden Manual Online will recognise that the user is coming from a referring web address or referring URL and the user will be let into the site.
Users will not need to remember any Royal Marsden Manual Online usernames and passwords in order to get into the site but every time they access the Royal Marsden Manual Online they will first have to navigate to the link on the referring (secure) web page.
By giving Wiley-Blackwell the web address of your secure web page, you will not be compromising your Faculty’s security settings. Wiley-Blackwell will not be able to access your Faculty’s secure network and will not communicate the URL of that web page to any third parties.
(Example: http://www.intranet.university.uk/index.htm)
Referrer links need to be as unique as possible please don’t use http://intranet or http://intranet/defualt.asp
PLEASE NOTE: YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE IT/INTERNET SERVICE ALLOWS HTTP REFERER INFORMATION TO BE SENT FROM YOUR WEB PAGES AND IS NOT BLOCKED BY SECURITY SETTINGS.
Can we use an EZproxy and what are the implications?
Yes a proxy server can be used to access The Royal Marsden Manual and can be used in conjunction with HTTP referrer access.
1) Add these stanza lines to their EZproxy configuration file:
Title Royal Marsden Manual Online
URL https://www.rmmonline.co.uk/
2) Supply us with the proxy IPs
