FrontPage Server Extensions
When you enable FrontPage Server Extensions on a virtual site, a FrontPage
client webmaster account is created and you must provide a password for the
webmaster account.
If FrontPage Server Extensions are enabled on a virtual site, the Site Settings
table on the Site Management screen shows a check box indicating that the
feature is enabled. If you disable FrontPage Server Extensions on a virtual site
and save the changes, the Site Settings table refreshes to show the feature as
disabled and a webmaster password field is now displayed in the table. If you
re-enable FrontPage Server Extensions on that virtual site, you must provide a
password again for the webmaster account.
If you do not enter a password after you enable FrontPage Server Extensions and
then try to save changes, the UI will not accept the changes. An error message
appears at the bottom of the screen informing you that you must enter a password
for the webmaster account.
Each virtual site has a separate webmaster account and a unique webmaster
password.
Once the webmaster has authenticated through the FrontPage client, he or she
can:
• modify Web content
• manage FrontPage site Root Web subwebs
• add, modify or remove additional FrontPage user accounts
• change the webmaster password
For more information on the FrontPage features, refer to the user documentation
for the FrontPage client software.
✍
Note: The FrontPage user webmaster is a part of the FrontPage
Server Extension software and is not a true Linux site-user account.
As such, it does NOT have Web, email or FTP service. It is simply
an account to use in the FrontPage client.
✍
Note: User webs cannot manage subwebs or FrontPage user
accounts.
