9-16 FileMaker Server Administrator’s Guide
Publishing your contact information to your
directory service
As the FileMaker Server administrator, you can publish your name,
location, phone number, and e-mail address to your directory
service. This is useful if the directory service administrator needs to
contact you.
To publish contact information for the FileMaker Server
administrator:
1. Using your text editor, open the fmserver.conf file.
2. Find the DirectoryService.Owner preference parameter and
replace the current value between the quotes with your
administrator’s name. For example:
DirectoryService.Owner “Sophie Tang”
3. Find the DirectoryService.Location preference parameter and
replace the current value between the quotes with the physical
location of the server computer. For example:
DirectoryService.Location “Computer room in bldg 1”
4. Find the DirectoryService.Phone preference parameter and
replace the current value between the quotes with your phone
number. For example:
DirectoryService.Phone “408-555-1234“
5. Find the DirectoryService.Email preference parameter and replace
the current value between the quotes with your e-mail address. For
example:
DirectoryService.Email “sophietang@my_company.com”
6. If you’re finished making changes to the configuration file, close
the text editor, restart FileMaker Server, and log out as the root user.
