I'm using Front Page to create my website, and I got this note when I set up a Register page. What the heck does it mean and what do I do make my registration work? :confused:
Comment: NOTE - For security reasons, some web servers do not allow self-registration. When you save this page to a Web, FrontPage will test for this capability, and show the file in the Component Errors summary in Report View if there is a problem. Self-registration is not allowed on Microsoft web servers that use Windows NT accounts to establish web permissions.Comment: User Registration Form - When this page is configured properly and saved in a Root Web on a web server, this form will allow users to register themselves as valid users of a FrontPage sub web on the same web server. The target sub web must exist when users submit this form. To configure this page, first edit the form's properties to set the name of the target sub web. Then use the Search/Replace feature to change all instances of the text [Name of your sub web] on this page with the title of the target sub web, such as "New Ideas Web" or "Employee Discussion Web". Save this page in the Root Web. Next, change the permissions for the target sub web using the Security->Permissions command on the Tools menu. Make the permissions unique for the target sub web, and change the User access controls so that only registered users may enter.
TIA, Joanne
