[IPT] How to register external usesr for locally installed IPT nodes

[info at pensoft.net]

  Dear Tim,

Thank you for the background information and the  clear instruction. I 
will add the three options as well the slightly edited background 
information to the Authors Guidelines.

The correct address of our installation is: http://ipt.pensoft.net/ipt/ 
(sorry for the incomplete URL in my email),

Best regards,
Lyubo
