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. For more information on creating accounts that authenticate via an external server, see FileMaker Pro Help. |
Specify whether to filter the list of databases in: • Open Remote File dialog box in FileMaker Pro • File Browser in FileMaker Go • FileMaker WebDirect home page • Custom Web Publishing database list requests | For File Display Filter, select List only the databases each user is authorized to access to display only the databases for which the user has access privileges in each hosted database. |
Encrypt the data passed between the Database Server and FileMaker clients by using a secure connection | Select Require secure connections. All Database Server client connections use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), except ODBC and JDBC connections. For more information about data security, see Securing your data. Secure connections are slower because of data encryption. Data transfer rates are affected by the number of clients and the amount of data transferred. Note If you change this setting, you must restart the Database Server again for the change to take effect. See Starting or stopping FileMaker Server components. |
Enable progressive downloading | Select Enable progressive downloading to allow progressive downloading of audio, video, or PDF files stored in an interactive container, so that clients can use the data while it is downloading. Note If you change this setting, you must restart the Database Server for the change to take effect. See Starting or stopping FileMaker Server components. |
