Changing FileMaker WebDirect settings in Admin Console
To change language and connection settings, run FileMaker Server Admin Console on a machine
that has network access to the FileMaker
Server deployment that is hosting your solution.
Note For a full description of Admin Console features and functionality, see FileMaker Server
Help.
To start Admin Console:
1. Open a web browser and enter:
https://<host>:16000/
where <host> is the IP address or domain name of the master machine in your
FileMaker
Server deployment.
Before the FileMaker Server Start Page appears, your web browser may ask you to respond to
a security message. This is normal behavior for the self-signed certificate that is included with
FileMaker
Server. Select the option to continue. For information about using certificates with
FileMaker
Server, see FileMaker Server Help.
2. Click Start Admin Console.
3. Enter the name and password for the Admin Console account, then click Log In.
Admin Console starts and displays the Status pane.
