Important When a database file contains one or more external server accounts, make sure you use operating system security settings to limit direct access to the file. For information about the Security Log, see your Windows documentation. If you enable External Server Accounts, records of all login attempts are logged in the Windows Security Log, if the primary machine is a Windows machine. In other words, a macOS user might be authenticated by Active Directory, or a Windows user might be authenticated by Open Directory in macOS Server. These are Active Directory accounts (Windows and Linux), Open Directory accounts (macOS), or OAuth identity provider accounts.ĭepending on the specific network configuration, an external authentication server on one platform can authenticate users on the other platform. Using FileMaker Pro, you specify in a database whether an account is authenticated using a FileMaker account or to an external authentication server. On the Administration > External Authentication tab, if you enable External Server Accounts under Database Sign In, the client access privileges are determined by the accounts defined in the hosted databases and by accounts that are defined on the primary machine or on an authentication server. If you're hosting FileMaker Pro database files with FileMaker Server, you can use your existing authentication server to control access to databases without having to manage an independent list of accounts in each FileMaker Pro database file.
OAuth identity providers including Login with Amazon, Google Identity Platform, Microsoft, Custom OAuth, and AD FS see Using an OAuth identity provider to authenticate FileMaker clients (FileMaker Server only). Windows or macOS accounts and groups locally defined on the primary machineĪpple Open Directory, Windows Active Directory, and Linux Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), which can be on a centrally-managed authentication server. In addition, FileMaker Server supports authentication with the following externally defined accounts and groups:
