About Account Setup's Functional Modes

Account Setup offers two distinct capabilities to end users--that of connecting to an Internet account server (either yours or Netscape's) to create new accounts (IAS mode); and that of simply using Account Setup to configure their dialer and TCP/IP software to access an account they already have (NCI mode).

To offer the IAS mode, you must have a dedicated Internet account server implemented according to Netscape's Internet Account Server Protocol. See the Guide to Online Internet Account Creation document for information about setting up an Internet account server.

For more information about customizing Account Setup, refer to the following documentation:

Mission Control Desktop Users: See the "Creating a Dial-Up Communicator Installer" document, available on Insight at https://insight.netscape.com/insight/index/product
/mission_control/documentation/dialup/dialup.htm

Client Customization Kit Users: See the "Internet Account Setup Reference" online guide, accessible from the Netscape Client Customization Kit program group.

Use Account Setup's global options to choose which functional mode you want to use.
