Web Security database remote password administration
To remotely administer the Web Security database:
1. In the Web Companion Configuration dialog box, be sure to select
Web Security Database and to enable Remote Administration.
See “Configuring FileMaker Pro Web Companion” on page 11-8 for
more information.
2. Open the Web Security database, located in the Databases folder in
the Web Security folder.
3. Copy the Security folder from the Web Security folder to the Web
folder.
4. In your Web browser, type the IP address for the computer where the
Web Security database is open, and
/Security/default.htm
For example, 12.34.56.78/Security/default.htm
5. On the resulting Web page, for Database Name, type the name of the
database whose privileges you want to change and click
OK.
Click the Add Database link to add a new database record to the Web
Security database.
6. If you specified Requires password in the Web Companion
Configuration dialog box, you’re prompted for a User Name and the
password. Type
Admin in the User Name field, type the password, and
click OK.
7. On the resulting Web page, make changes to the privileges as you
would in the Web Security database.
Helping Web users find your database
Browsing a database set up in FileMaker Pro Web Companion requires
only Web browsing software and access to the Internet (or an intranet).
The Web browser must also have the Internet Protocol (IP) address (and
port number, if it is other than 80, which is the default) of the machine
that hosts your database file. You can supply this address for the user to
type directly in the Web browser software, or you can provide a link to
this IP address on a Web page you set up.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the Help menu, and then type:
