Format
Get(ConnectionState)
Parameters
None
Data type returned
number
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 12.0
Description
Secure connections are encrypted using SSL. If security is important in your environment, your
server administrator needs to install a custom SSL certificate.
Returns:
0 for no network connection for the current file.
1 for a connection that is not encrypted (FileMaker Server with SSL disabled, or to a
FileMaker
Pro host).
2 for a connection that is encrypted but for which the SSL certificate for FileMaker Server
cannot be verified. You may be connected to a server pretending to be your actual
destination, which could put your confidential information at risk.
3 for a connection that is encrypted with a verified SSL certificate.
Note
For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the
FileMaker Knowledge Base available at
http://help.filemaker.com.
Examples
Returns 3 when the connection is encrypted with a verified SSL certificate.
