1) PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

Purpose of a project is to provide an environment for online book
sales. The application should also provide an environment for provide
articles for the visitors. All the visitors should register prior to any
operations on the website. Register user can there after search for
books and place order for the same or read articles provided.

The

administration area of the application should be capable of managing

the operations over the website.

2) PROBLEMS IN THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The current system is a manual system where in the client runs a
bookstore. The client is interested in widening the scope of his sales to
a broader ranger. With this application the client can reach the clients
of remote areas and get more business. To encourage the visits for the
new users as well as the existing users the client is interested in
hosting editorial articles related to the content of the EJournals.

3) SOLUTION OF THESE PROBLEMS

EJournals provides a dual environment, one for the user and other for
the administration

of website. The solution for the requirement of

the client to carry out online sales requires a shopping cart scenario
where in the user selections need to tracked and processed as orders.
The processed orders after payments are liable to be undergoing a
delivery process where in the ordered product of the customer the
client delivers. The shopping environment provides the information to
the user regarding the selections done by him/her, the payable amount
etc. The application should be capable of credit card processing for
which the available services of Pay pal, Verisign, and American Express
etc can be included as a part of the application. However the additional
service by these online pay processing companies should be bared by
the owner of EJournals. The administration environment should be
capable of hosting new books, order processing, member management
etc.
By providing a user interface simple enough for a non end user the
clients requirements can be fulfilled.

ACCESS CONTROL FOR DATA WHICH REQUIRE USER

AUTHENTICATION
The following commands specify access control identifiers
and they are typically used to authorize and authenticate the user
(command codes are
shown in parentheses)

USER NAME (USER)

The user identification is that which is required by the server
for access to its file system. This command will normally be
the first command transmitted by the user after the control
connections are made (some servers may require this).

PASSWORD (PASS)

This command must be immediately preceded by the user

name command, and, for some sites, completes the user's
identification for access control. Since password information is
quite sensitive, it is desirable in general to "mask" it or
suppress type out.
