Keep these points in mind:
1 Create a separate record for every database you want to assign Web
Security database access privileges.
1 You can type All Users in the User Name field to create privileges
that apply to any Web user. These privileges override more restrictive
privileges you may set later. To prevent this, carefully decide which
privileges you want to grant to all users.
1 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.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the or Help menu, and then type:
E Web Security database
Web Security database remote password administration

5. On the resulting Web page, for Database Name, type the name of the
database whose privileges you want to change and click OK.
Click the Add Database link to add a new database record to the Web
Security database.
6. If you specified Requires password in the Web Companion
Configuration dialog box, you’re prompted for a User Name and the
password. Type Admin in the User Name field, type the password, and
click OK.
