FileMaker Pro 4.1 Mac User's Guide

?
Publishing files on the Web 11-19
When users open your database on the Web, they enter the same
password as if they were opening your file on the host machine (or over
a FileMaker Pro network). The Web browser’s password dialog box has
two fields: Name and Password. FileMaker Pro access privilege security
ignores anything entered in the Name field.
FileMaker Pro access privileges are convenient, easy to use, and the best
choice for most database security needs. For more information on
FileMaker Pro access privileges, see chapter 7, “Networking and access
privileges.”
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the or Help menu, and then type:
E access privileges
Web Security database
If you want to establish access privileges that are more specific than
FileMaker Pro access privileges, you can use the FileMaker Pro Web
Security database.
With the Web security database, you can control whether users can
search, update, add, or delete records; whether they can use scripts; and
which fields they can work with. If you choose, you can also administer
access privileges remotely over the Web. If you do not require this level
of security, use FileMaker Pro access privileges.
To use the FileMaker Pro Web Security database:
1. Be sure that Web Security Database is selected under Security in the
Web Companion Configuration dialog box. For more information see
“Web security” on page 11-11.
2. Choose Open from the File menu.
3. Navigate to the FileMaker Pro 4.0 folder, then open the Web Security
folder.
4. Open the Databases folder, and then double-click Web Security.
5. Select New Record from the Mode menu.
