Universe Admin: Setting Up For Registration

The most powerful and flexible approach for creating your own custom mechanism for the creation of citizenships in your universe is to develop your own web pages that invoke cgi-bin applications written with the Active Worlds SDK. However, this is also the most challenging and time consuming approach because it requires you to develop your own C programs using the SDK to interact with your UniServer.

The basic approach is to create a web page that collections information in a form (e.g. desired citizen name, password, credit card info, etc.) and submits it to a custom cgi-cin application on your web server. The cgi-bin application then validates the submitted information (in any matter it sees fit) and then creates the new citizenship using the aw_citizen_add() SDK method, if the new account information is acceptable.

Please see the Active Worlds SDK for more details on writing SDK applications.
