Before you can set up directories and Webs for FrontPage users, you must first install and configure FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions as described in "Installing FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions" in this chapter. Then you must enable FrontPage authoring, as described in "Enabling FrontPage Authoring" in this chapter.
Having done this, you can use the FrontPage 2000 client to connect to the FrontPage root Web in order to set it up for users, as described in this topic. You can change your FrontPage administrator password ("root" by default) and set up usernames, passwords, and directories, called Webs in FrontPage. For more information about changing the administrator password and adding users and user Webs, see the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions online product documentation.
To the FrontPage 2000 root Web in order to set it up for users, use the following procedure.
To connect to the FrontPage 2000 root Web
1. Make sure FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions are installed and FrontPage authoring is enabled on the Web server.
2. From the FrontPage 2000 client File menu, click Open Web.
3. In the Folder Name box, type the following URL:
http://[HOSTNAME]
where [HOSTNAME] is the hostname of your Web server.
4. Click Open.
5. When prompted, type "admin" for the username and "root" for the password.
6. Make the configuration changes you want, as described in the FrontPage documentation.
