SUMMARY

A Passport Manager object that is installed on a particular server can be given different defaults, behaviors, encryption keys, and Site IDs so that a single object can be used for multiple sites that are being served from a single server computer.

MORE INFORMATION

  1. Run the Passport Manager Administration utility. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Passport, and then click Passport Manager Administration Utility.
  2. In the Passport Manager Administration Utility, click New. The Add New Web Site dialog box appears.
  3. In the Web Site Name field, type a new friendly name for the site. The value that you type for Web Site Name should match the site name that is specified as the /s parameter if encryption keys that are designated for a particular site name have already been installed or will be installed. For details and the purpose of the /s parameter when installing keys, see the following Passport Web site: NOTE: It is best to not use names that contain spaces when you specify the Web site name. If you do, you must enclose the string in quotation marks when you specify as the /s value, and you must encode the spaces out of the value if you specify it as vSiteName.
  4. For Host Name, type a host name and IP address. This value should be the server host name that this particular Passport-enabled site resolves to. If the site uses a port other than 80, specify the port number along with the host name in a single string (for example, hostname:port#).
  5. For Host IP, type an IP address. The IP address is the resolving IP number for the site.
  6. Click Commit Changes to enable the new site configuration.
