Password Overview:
The Web Publishing Engine uses 3 separate credentials to protect the system from
improper use:
i. FMSA Admin Console Account – this user name/password combination is
used to restrict access to the web interface used for configuring FileMaker
Server Advanced. These credentials will be required every time an
administrator logs in to the Web Publishing Administration Console.
ii. Web Publishing Engine Admin Account – this user name/password is used to
secure the configuration interface of the Web Publishing Engine. Its purpose
is to authenticate the Admin Console to protect the WPE from being taken
over by an unauthorized Admin Console. These credentials are stored in the
preferences for the Admin Console and are automatically used to connect
and configure the Web Publishing Engine. The only times an administrator
will need to provide these credentials are during initial configuration and in the
event that the Web Admin Console is reinstalled or moved to a new machine.
Note: If you choose not to disable IIS Directory Security, then this user name
and password must be created as a local windows account for the admin
console to function properly.
