Hello,

Sharing an IP address between virtual sites depends on the HTTP 1.1 
protocol extensions (since HTTP 1.0) for web site differentiation.  Some 
services, like SSL and anonymous FTP are unique to an IP address, so 
only one site per IP address may enable those services.  It's pretty 
easy for Sendmail to check the domain names of incoming mail and 
categorize them by site.  Other services are IP independent and rely on 
login names and group memberships to determine the site affiliation.

By authentication name, by web request syntax, etc..

Create users with the "Site Administrator" feature enabled.  Login to 
the UI as a Site Administrator user.
