Configuring FileMaker Server
Use the FileMaker Server Admin application to configure FileMaker
Server for optimal performance. Windows users can also use the
configuration assistants to set up server properties. Use the
Properties dialog box (Windows) or Configure view (Mac
OS ) for
access to the complete set of configuration settings.
Note This chapter provides an overview of the configuration settings
that are available. For detailed step-by-step procedures about
configuring FileMaker Server, see FileMaker Server Help.
Using the configuration assistants
(Windows)
In Windows, FileMaker Server provides configuration assistants to
help you set up server properties. You can use the associated
Properties dialog box to change settings, if needed. The
configuration assistants are Client Connections, Security, Database
Hosting, Administration, Directory Service, and Task Scheduling.
To access the configuration assistants:
1. Choose the Start button > Programs > FileMaker Server Admin.
You see the FileMaker Server Administration console.
2. Connect to the server you want to work with.
3. Click one of the icons in the Details Pane to start an assistant or
select host and then choose
View menu > Assistants.
Configuring client connections
In FileMaker Server Admin, connect to the server you want to work
with.
Windows: Configure client properties in the Client Connections
assistant or select a server and then choose
Action menu >
Properties > Clients tab.
