Prerequisites

Before you get started

Once you’re ready to make your request, follow these steps:

  1. Fill out the Website Request Form to receive your Website Request ID. You'll need that to fill out the Web Framework Request Form.
  2. Request a group account.
  3. When that account is approved, set up the passphrase and email address.
  4. Request a Sitehost/Sitehost Test account.
  5. Request a virtual host URL for your Sitehost account. The request will be reviewed and if approved, will point to your account. Note: your virtual host for Sitehost Test is automatically set up as https://account.sitehost-test.iu.edu.
  6. Review WCMS policies.
