If your organization uses a Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP
) compliant directory service, such as
Windows Active Directory
, Netscape Directory, OpenLDAP,
or Open Directory
(Mac OS), you can centrally manage your
hosted databases by registering FileMaker Server with your
directory service.
When FileMaker Server is registered with a directory service,
host names and IP addresses
are published to the directory
service so that FileMaker Pro clients can use the directory
service to find the server in a network. The FileMaker Server
administrator's contact information can also be published
(see Server information settings
(page 55)). This is useful if
the directory service administrator needs to contact you (for
example, if hosted databases are unavailable for client
access).
Note If you do not know what your directory service settings
are, contact your network administrator.
