Configuring FileMaker Server 39
You can increase the Maximum Log Size setting from the default
512
KB, depending on how much FileMaker Server activity you
anticipate on your server computer. You can also select
Overwrite
Events as Needed
to continue logging events after the log file is full.
Configuring a directory service
Windows: Change properties in the Directory Service assistant or select
host and then choose
Action menu > Properties > Directory Service tab.
Mac OS: To change properties, choose View menu > Configure, then
click the
Directory Service tab.
If your organization uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP)-compliant directory service, such as Microsoft Active
Directory, Netscape Directory, OpenLDAP, or Open Directory
(Mac
OS X10.4), you can centrally manage your hosted databases by
registering FileMaker Server with your directory service.
When FileMaker Server is registered with an LDAP-compliant
directory service, its server name and IP address are published to the
directory service. The FileMaker Server administrator’s contact
information can also be published.
