Quick Start

86 FileMaker Server Getting Started Guide
You can choose from the following configurations:
1 Disable IIS authentication. You can disable all IIS authentication methods and use anonymous access to the
IIS site. This is the simplest configuration. See the next section,
“Disabling IIS authentication.”
1 Leave IIS authentication enabled and also enable Basic Authentication. You can leave the current IIS
authentication methods enabled for use with other websites, and use Basic Authentication for the Web
Publishing Engine. You must also set up Windows user accounts that exactly match the user accounts for the
web-published FileMaker databases. See
“Enabling IIS authentication” on page 87.
Disabling IIS authentication
By default, Windows IIS directory security attempts to authenticate all requests that are made through the IIS web
server. The simplest way to use IIS with FileMaker Server is to disable IIS authentication. If you disable all IIS
authentication methods and use anonymous access to the IIS site, then you don’t need to add any Windows user
accounts.
To disable IIS authentication:
1. From the Control Panel, choose Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager to open the
Internet Information Services Manager.
2. In Internet Information Services, select the website and choose Action menu > Properties. You may have to
expand some of the nodes to see the websites.
3. In the Directory Security properties pane, click Edit for authentication methods. (The button name varies slightly
among Windows versions.)
