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.
