You can specify whether you want to require a password before
allowing remote administration:
1 To require a password before allowing remote administration, select
Requires password.
1 To allow remote administration without a password, select Requires
no password.
1 To prevent remote administration, select Disabled.
Note When creating a password, use only the characters A through Z,
numerals, or a combination of the two. Do not include spaces in your
password. This minimizes the possibility that you will choose characters
that may be interpreted incorrectly over the Web.
You can set up FileMaker Pro access privileges before publishing your
database on the Web, or you can control access to your databases with
even greater precision by using the Web Security database.
To use FileMaker Pro access privileges for access control, select
FileMaker Pro access privileges. To use the Web Security database, select
Web Security Database. For more information, see “Database security” on
page 11-18.
Specifying a port number
The port number specifies the number of the TCP/IP port where Web
browsers can find FileMaker Pro databases. If port number 80 is already
in use (for example, in running a Web server), consider changing TCP/IP
Port to 591. Port number 591 has been registered with the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use with FileMaker Pro Web
Companion.
?
Note If you use a port number other than 80, users cannot access your
database unless they append a colon, and the new port number, to your
IP address (12.34.56.78:591).
