How do I create a non notes login?

I wish to create a basic website which I am fine doing. I want this site to allow either:

  1. A website administrator to set up an account for people so that they can then login.

  2. Allow new users to create their own account.

The kind of information people will be allowed to post is business information.

I do not want this to be done via a notes logon which will require a new ID for each user. I need some method of validation for each user but I can’t think how.

I may also want it to be the case that new users have to pay for an account - how would this be done and integrated with some payment method e.g. PayPal?

Has anyone any ideas on how this can be done. If Javascript needs to be used then please describe this in some detail as my Javascripting is poor.

Non notes IDs and validation has been a bane of mine for years and I’ve not come up with a way of resolving this problem. Therefore help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

In the Administration help, try Secondary Directory and Directory Assistance.Once you have the secondary directory working, to let external users register themselves, you just have to give them a form, to enter personal details you need, and a username & password, and when they submit the form, using WebQuerySave check if the username or email address already exists in the secondary directory, and if not create the Person doc with the username & pwd and other details and just call function to refresh the SEcondary Directory view. Then the user will be able to login using that username & pwd.

To allow payments to be made over the internet through the Domino application, you can search on this and the version 6 & 7 discussions and also on web, and should be able to find a few options describing the architecture and bank account or other 3rd party service needed.
