18 FileMaker Server Advanced Web Publishing Installation Guide
Installation quick start
Registering the identifier and passcode in FileMaker Server Admin (Mac OS)
1. Connect to the FileMaker server at address 127.0.0.1.
2. Click the Configure icon on the toolbar.
3. In the Configure view, click the Clients tab, then click Add.
A new row appears in the FileMaker Web Publishing Engines list.
4. Double-click in the Identifier column of the new row and replace the placeholder text with the identifier for the
Web Publishing Engine.
The identifier can be any text string of alphabetic or numeric characters. The identifier value is case-sensitive.
5. (Optional) Double-click the Passcode column, then enter a passcode.
Using a passcode provides additional security. The passcode can be any text string of alphabetic or numeric
characters. The passcode value is 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.”
Configuring the Web Publishing Engine
In this process, use the Administration Console to complete the remaining configuration steps.
1. Load the Administration Console by opening a web browser window to this URL:
http://localhost/fmi/config
Note If you are using SSL, then you need to connect to this URL:
https://<registered domain name>/fmi/config
