Looks like it is working great now -- thanks again!

David, the UUID still doesn't seem to be working. I think I am using the UUID feature correctly, since it does work when I open it on a local Filemaker with the ScriptMaster extension. Is there a special step when running on IWP? Thanks, Stephen

You are on top of it! Thanks, David!

Hello all, I want to use SuperContainer along with Instant Web Publishing and am concerned about the security of the data hosted on SuperContainer. My initial plan is that an email will go out to a remote IWP user alerting them to log in and look at a file. The user would then navigate to our public website, log in via a standard FileMaker account through IWP, and be able to view a few records with SuperContainer web viewers showing the files we have uploaded for them. However, the data that would be hosted on SuperContainer is highly confidential stuff. Could anyone talk to me in general about why SuperContainer is safe or unsafe for this purpose? We are using SuperContainer hosting from the mothership... aka 360Works ... and it has been working great so far. My understanding is that ANYONE with the exact SuperContainer reference link can access the file. So, I've built my SuperContainer references/links with huge long random strings (using UUID function), so no one would be able to guess another file's directory. This seems to add a layer of security that would be very hard to get around. However, this still makes me nervous! Again, anyone with that link -- even if they don't log in to FM IWP -- is able to get at the file. It makes me nervous that somehow Google or another search engine could somehow find it and we would be in big trouble. Is there any additional layer of security I could use with SuperContainer that I am overlooking? (The login/pass system used by SuperContainer seems like it would be an option, but since I would have to be using the same login/pass for all accounts, I don't see how this is any more secure than just having VERY random links...) Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance! -Stephen

Hello all, I'm a newbie to hosted Filemaker solutions. However, I have created a database that uses ScriptMaster's UUID feature. I noticed that the UUID does not compute if the extension is not installed on the machine. I've purchased Filemaker hosting from 360 Works, so I figured the ScriptMaster UUID feature would work. However, it does not. Is there a step (using the Admin Panel or by making the function a part of my FM file) that I can do to make the UUID feature work? Or do I need to ask 360Works to install the ScriptMaster plugin for me? (Which they may not do...?) Thank you, Stephen
