Administrator’s Guide

C-2 FileMaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited Administrator’s Guide
If you do not have an administrator password, or do not want to
enable the Web Companion at this time, click Cancel. The Web
Companion will not be enabled, and your system settings will remain
unchanged.
If you do not have an administrator password, or want to configure
the Web Companion to use port 1024 or higher, click Advanced. Your
system settings will remain unchanged. See the section “Configuring
the Web Companion for use with ports 1024 and higher” for further
instructions.
5. Enter an administrator name and password in the Authenticate
dialog, and click OK.
6. The administrator name and password you enter can be the same
as the name and password used when Mac OS X was installed, or if
you have administrator privileges but do not know an administrator
password, you can create a new user and password with
administrator privileges. For more information on creating an
account with administrator privileges, see the Mac OS X Help topics,
“Working as an administrator,” and “Changing your password.”
You are finished. The Web Companion is configured to use port 80.
Configuring the Web Companion for use
with ports 1024 and higher
You do not need an administrator password to configure the
FileMaker Pro Web Companion to use ports 1024 and higher. Unlike
ports below 1024, the FileMaker Pro Web Companion can use ports
1024 and above without altering your system’s settings.
Note If you have previously enabled the Web Companion to use
ports below 1024 as described above, your system is already
configured to allow the Web Companion to use any port. Make port
changes directly in the Web Companion Configuration dialog.
To configure the FileMaker Pro Web Companion to use only ports
1024 and above:
1. Choose the FileMaker Pro application menu > Preferences >
Application.
2. In the Application Preferences dialog, click the Plug-Ins tab.
3. Select the Web Companion checkbox.
You see the following dialog.
4. Click Advanced.
