Extension DLLs

The Internet Service Manager is designed to support future extension. When a new Internet Server Service is created, the server service may be added to the administration tool using the following steps:

  1.  The extension service should add itself to the registry key, \\LocalMachine\Software\InetMgr\AddOnServices, as described under Registry LayoutX0BB9F.

  2.  The extension service must provide a configuration DLL that contains the five DLL entry points. Optionally, a help file may be supplied, which should differ in name from the extension DLL only in that it should have the file extension .hlp.

Once the registry value entry has been added, the Internet Service Manager will automatically load and initialize the extension DLL when it starts up. It will then be able to administer the new extension service.
