Summary of user navigation through LOIS after Agent Server is added.
The LOIS online service has a member and a visitor entry. When clicking on the
member door icon, an authentication dialog is presented. Once the userid and
password are entered, then a page is generated with links to the member's
purchased products. An additional link, to the Agent Server homepage for that
member should be added to this page. Clicking on the Agent Server homepage link
will present an authentication dialog. Either the member enters their userid
and password or chooses to register as a user of Agent Server. A registration
form captures the user's information and invokes a CGI to crate an Agent Server
user. The new user is then presented with a registration confirmation page that
has a link to their new Agent Server homepage. Once they view their homepage, a
member can review their hits and follow the links to the documents unimpeded.
After a click on the visitor's door icon, the visitor's path to Agent Server is
the same as a member's. The important difference is the authentication dialog
presented to a visitor before access to a document is granted. At this
challenge point, billing information should be collected and verified. Once the
billing transaction is complete, the document is presented.
