Installing the Web Publishing Engine in Windows 43
Enabling IIS authentication
If you enable any of the IIS authentication methods for the IIS web server, you must enable Basic Authentication
for web sites that connect to the Web Publishing Engine. Note that the Web Publishing Engine only uses Basic
Authentication and none of the other IIS authentication methods. Other web sites on the web server can use the
other IIS authentication methods.
In this scenario, you must also create Windows user accounts on the web server host computer that contain user
names and passwords that exactly match the user names and passwords for the following accounts:
1 Web Publishing Engine user name and password, which you create by using the Administration Console. See
“Configuring the Web Publishing Engine for the first time” on page 50.
1 all password-protected accounts defined in all web-published FileMaker databases.
To enable IIS authentication:
1. In Internet Information Services, select the web site and choose Action > Properties.
2. In the Directory Security properties sheet, click Edit for authentication methods.
3. In the Authentications Methods dialog box, do the following:
1 Enable Anonymous access.
1 Enable Basic Authentication along with any of the other authentication methods under Authenticated access.
4. Click OK to close the Authentications Methods dialog box.
5. Click OK to close the Directory Security properties sheet.
Uninstalling, modifying, or repairing the Web Publishing Engine
You can use the Windows Add or Remove Programs control panel to uninstall the Web Publishing Engine
components, replace missing or corrupt files, or to change which features are installed. Before uninstalling, be sure
to stop the Web Publishing Engine services. See “Starting, restarting, or stopping the services (Windows)” on
page 71.
Note If you’re running Windows 2000 Server and you uninstall a feature that contains a Web Publishing Engine
service, the installer prompts you to restart your computer.
