Installation quick start
Registering the Web Publishing Engine with FileMaker Server
In this process, use FileMaker Server Admin to register a FileMaker Server identifier and passcode string to protect
the connection between the Web Publishing Engine and FileMaker Server. In a later step, you enter the identifier
and passcode into the Administration Console (described in step 5 of “Configuring the Web Publishing Engine”
on page 18).
Registering the identifier and passcode in FileMaker Server Admin (Windows)
1. In FileMaker Server Admin, choose Action menu > Connect to FileMaker Server.
2. In the Connect to FileMaker Server dialog box, choose (localhost) 127.0.0.1 and click Connect to connect to the
FileMaker Server at address 127.0.0.1.
3. Choose Action menu > Properties to open the FileMaker Server Properties dialog box.
4. In the Properties dialog box, click the Clients tab.
5. Click Server Advanced Settings.
Note If the Server Advanced Settings button is disabled, you need to update the FileMaker Server license key
with a FileMaker Server Advanced license key. See FileMaker Server Help for information on updating the
FileMaker Server license key. Remember to restart your system after updating the license key.
6. In the Server Advanced Settings dialog box, click Add.
7. Enter the identifier and optional passcode for the Web Publishing Engine.
The identifier and passcode can be any text string of alphabetic or numeric characters. The identifier and
passcode values are case-sensitive.
Remember the FileMaker Server identifier and passcode you just created, because they are used later in step 5 of
“Configuring the Web Publishing Engine” on page 18.
