Password Management Installation Guide April 2002 9

Introduction

Subscription services often give their subscribers unique usernames and passwords in order

that they may access "member only" sections of their sites. These merchants have the option to

have PayPal generate unique usernames and passwords for their subscribers.

If a merchant chooses this option when creating a subscription button, a username and

password pair generated by PayPal will be presented to their subscribers on the PayPal

completion page after they successfully sign-up.

A merchant must then activate the username and password pair on his server so that the pair is

valid. To do this, merchants must integrate the instant server communications PayPal will send

them.

Merchants can either write their own code on their server to integrate our real-time

communications.

Or, merchants who are password protecting their site through Basic Authentication (using an

Apache web server on Linux) can download from PayPal a Perl module developed by PayPal

that is capable of providing complete subscription management. The Perl script is easy to

install and interacts with PayPal’s Instant Payment Notification interface to automatically

activate and deactivate subscription accounts.

This document details how to integrate your server with this Perl script.

System Requirements

Password Management is available for merchants running an Apache web server on Linux and

securing access to a portion of their site, such as content, using “Basic Authentication.”

Although not tested, this script should work across most Unix installations. The Perl script, as

is, does not work on NT.
