Chapter 7 | Setting up the web server 70
Setting up authentication for FMWebSite in IIS
FileMaker Server handles the authentication for password-protected databases that are published
via Custom Web Publishing. You can choose whether you want to use IIS website authentication
for the FMWebSite site in addition to FileMaker
Server authentication.
You can choose from the following configurations:
1 Disable IIS authentication. You can disable all IIS authentication methods and use
anonymous access to the FMWebSite site. This is the simplest configuration. See the next
section,
“Disabling IIS authentication.”
1 Leave IIS authentication enabled and also enable Basic Authentication. You can leave the
current IIS authentication methods enabled for use with other websites, and use Basic
Authentication for the FMWebSite site used by the Web Publishing Engine. You must also set
up Windows user accounts that exactly match the user accounts for the web-published
FileMaker databases. See
“Enabling IIS authentication” on page 70.
Disabling IIS authentication
By default, Windows IIS directory security attempts to authenticate all requests that are made
through the IIS web server. The simplest way to use IIS with FileMaker
Server is to disable IIS
authentication. If you disable all IIS authentication methods and use anonymous access to
FMWebSite, then you don’t need to add any Windows user accounts.
To disable IIS authentication:
1. In the Control Panel, choose System and Security > Administrative Tools > Internet
Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, select the FMWebSite site. You may have to
expand some of the nodes to see the websites.
3. In the center pane, double-click Authentication.
4. In the Authentication pane, do the following:
1 Ensure that Anonymous Authentication is enabled.
1 Disable all other authentication methods.
Enabling IIS authentication
If you enable any of the IIS authentication methods for the IIS web server, you must enable Basic
Authentication for the FMWebSite site, which connects to the Web Publishing Engine. The Web
Publishing Engine uses only Basic Authentication. Other websites on the web server can use the
other IIS authentication methods.
In this configuration, you must also create Windows user accounts on the web server host
machine that contain user names and passwords. These user names and passwords must exactly
match the user names and passwords for all password-protected accounts defined in all FileMaker
databases that are published via Custom Web Publishing.
The following steps show how to install Basic Authentication in each supported version of
Windows and then how to enable authentication.
