FP2000: How to Create a Registration Web

ID: Q207288

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

This article describes how to create a registration Web page. A registration Web page requires user registration and authorization. It allows you to restrict or monitor access to your Web pages.


MORE INFORMATION

To allow a registered user access to your Web, you can set up a registration form in the <Root Web> and create a protected Web. The <Root Web> is created automatically when you install the FrontPage Server Extensions on your server. The <Root Web> acts as a gatekeeper to the protected Web, because it forces users to register before they access your Web. The protected Web allows only registered users to access it.

You can set up a registration form on the <Root Web> only. You cannot set one on another Web.

NOTE: Windows NT security, Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), and Microsoft Personal Web Server do not allow registration through a Web browser. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
