CREATING THE MSADC SERVICE<br />

In order to manage and administer a <strong>StoreFront</strong> site hosted on a remote web server,<br />

you must be able to connect to the site’s database using the <strong>StoreFront</strong><br />

development tools. In order for this to be possible, your host must first configure<br />

what is called the MSADC Services. This configuration is only necessary on the live<br />

server, and does not need to be performed if you are developing a local site. Details<br />

on configuring the MSADC services can be found on www.<strong>StoreFront</strong>.net.<br />
