Sorry if this posting is a bit long, but I am new to FMPro, and unfortunately I have been dropped in at the deep end to try and get a legacy FMP Pro system web-enabled. Currently totally stuck on how to get Web Server Connector working.
Having loaded WSC, can run the 'Initial Security' web page on the IIS server.
Enter a username of administrator equivalence, as requested
Then if choose any of the three icon options (Config by Host, by Database, or Admin Account) get a windows password challenge popup, asking for :
Site: dev3
Realm: Web Server Connector
UserID:
Password:
BUT no UserID/Password administrator combination (from either local user or domain user) works
After 3 attempts login fails giving either
'FileMaker Web Server Connector Authorization Failed', or
'You are not authorised to view this page' for page http://dev3/FMPro?config_security.
From then on the http://dev3/fmpro?config cannot bring back the Initial Security page, but just the password prompt
QUESTION
The "Tip" (at the bottom of the 'Initial Security' page) says:
Windows NT requires a name, and in some configurations a password, for local access. If you are using the Web Server Connector on a Windows NT system, your Web Server Connector administrator name and password must match those of a valid user account for the local domain.
What does it mean by 'Local Domain' - the departmental domain, or the local server itself. Because our department uses administrator user 'Administrator' for local servers, and 'SysAdmin' for departmental domain.
NB. At no time could we find any 'FMWSC.properties' file to delete
This was confirmed by the FMWSC.log file in ...FileMaker WSC 5.5 which showed:
[Thu Aug 22 19:38:09 GMT+10:00 2002] FMWSC 5.5v1 initialized
[Thu Aug 22 19:41:54 GMT+10:00 2002] null java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker WSC 5.5libFMWSC.properties
Thanks for any pointers in the right direction
Andy
