26 FileMaker Instant Web Publishing Guide
Using external FileMaker data sources in Instant Web Publishing
To support authentication with an external FileMaker data source in Instant Web Publishing, the FileMaker
database and the external data source must use the same user name and password for authentication. This
user name and password in the FileMaker database must also have the Instant Web Publishing extended
privilege enabled.
Users must use this common user name and password to log in so that these same credentials can be passed
to the external data source for authentication.
For more information on external FileMaker data sources, see FileMaker Pro Help.
