Database Server security settings
The Database Server > Security tab lets you configure the following security settings:
• Specify whether clients
are authenticated using FileMaker accounts only or also using an
external authentication
server.
• Limit the list of hosted databases that clients can view.
• Encrypt data passed between the Database Server
and clients.
To specify Database Server security settings:
1. Choose Database Server > Security tab.
To Do this
Specify whether to authenticate
access to hosted databases
using an external server
For Client Authentication, select one of the following:
• FileMaker accounts only: The user name and
password are authenticated against the account
name
and password specified in the FileMaker Pro accounts
of hosted databases.
• FileMaker and external server accounts: The user
name and password are authenticated against the
account name and password specified in FileMaker Pro
accounts or against an external server. The external
server returns local and domain group accounts that
the user belongs to, which are then authenticated
against the group accounts specified in FileMaker Pro
External Server accounts.
For more information, see External authentication for
database access (page 72).
For more information on creating accounts that
authenticate via an external server, see FileMaker Pro
Help.
