The application allows a built-in administrator account to login and create new users. Once new users are created they can login and view pages only accessible to logged in users. The application monitors and logs application related events and any errors which occur. Log data is saved to an SQL Server 2005 database. The Membership API and Health monitoring features of ASP .NET 2.0 were utilized. The application also uses Themes and MasterPages, as well as the Sitemap provider. A custom user management facility mimics the ASP .NET Configuration interface for user management.
