You can automatically
register yourself to be a user of
[Name of your sub site] by filling
out and submitting this form. Only
registered users are allowed into
[Name of your sub site]. Choose a
username for yourself (such as your
last name) and make sure this username
contains no spaces. Also create a
private password. Together these will
be your "key" into [Name
of your sub site] from now on. This
information will be kept in a registration
database that is accessible only to
the webmaster, not to ordinary users.
One of the main benefits
of having a restricted access Web
site like [Name of your sub site]
is that authorized users don't have
to keep typing their names into form
fields, such as when submitting an
article to a discussion group, because
the web server already knows who they
are. Similarly, other users can be
reasonably sure that you really sent
the articles and postings attributed
to you, and that someone else didn't
pretend to be you when posting.
After you are successfully
registered, your web browser will
ask you to type in your username and
password the first time you try to
access [Name of your sub site]. The
browser will remember this information
for as long as it continues to run,
so you can access any document in
[Name of your sub site] without being
asked for it again.
