MORE INFORMATION

IIS requires that all users, authors, and administrators of a FrontPage Web have valid Windows NT accounts. User accounts can only be created by a Windows NT administrator using User Manager. The HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) does not support creating user accounts.

When you create a registration Web, you ask the server to create and update a list of registered users based on input from HTTP browsers. IIS is not designed to support the creation of registered users without creating a corresponding Windows NT account.

For additional information about how to create a registration page for use with Web servers that support this feature, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
