Cobalt RaQ XTR User Manual 125

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.

Active Server Pages (ASP)

The RaQ XTR uses Chili!Soft™ Active Server Pages (ASP) software.

ASP is an HTML-embedded scripting language that includes one or more small

embedded programs, or scripts, that are processed on a Web server before the

Web page is sent to the user. An ASP is somewhat similar to a server-side include

or a common gateway interface (CGI) application in that all three involve

programs that run on the server, usually tailoring a page for the user.

For example, an ASP script can use the input from the user’s request for the page

to access data from a database. The script then builds or customizes the page on

the ﬂy and returns it to the requestor. The Web server does all of the processing,

and a standard HTML page is generated and sent to the browser.

It is not necessary to enable the ASP Administrative Server (under Server

Management > Control Panel > Services) in order to enable ASP on an

individual virtual site.

Note: User webs cannot manage subwebs or FrontPage user

accounts.
