Step 3. Creating a New User Account

  • Article

After you select the locale, the Default.aspx page is displayed. Because you imported the Adventure Works catalog, you will see a list of products on this page, beginning with the product Venus and ending with the product Daytrip First Aid Kit. In the top-right corner of this page is the link Sign In, which redirects you to the Login.aspx page. On this page you can either log in to the site using an existing account, or create a new account.

If the Microsoft Passport 2.0 SDK is installed on the server hosting the International Retail Site, an additional link, Sign In .NET, appears on the Login.aspx page. This link is used in conjunction with the Passport service.

    You should always use a strong password when creating passwords. For more information about strong passwords, see Using Strong Passwords.
    Re-enter password Type password again.
    E-mail address Type jdoe@microsoft.com.

    The e-mail address is validated. It must contain a minimum of five characters, an "@" and a "." (an "at" sign and a period).
  3. Click Save.

The International Retail site checks the following:

  • If the password contains a minimum of eight characters (password length configuration is found in the web.config file).
  • If the password and re-entered password match.
  • If the e-mail address is at least five characters in length (e-mail address configuration is found in the web.config file), and contains an "@" and a "." (an "at" sign and a period).

After you create the new user account, a message confirming that your account has been created appears.
