I am running Filemaker Pro 16 and I use FMSP 4.6.6b1

Should I upgrade to Filemaker 17?

And, is it easy to import all of my data (records) from FMSP 4.6.6b1 into FMSP 6?

For the time being everything is working fine on FMSP 4.6.6b1. I also had some changes made for me on FMSP 4.6.6b1

 

Is it yet possible to install self signed certificates in FileMaker 17? To my knowledge I have only seen this documented for FileMaker 16 in this article: https://blog.beezwax.net/2017/12/03/creating-your-own-ssl-certificates-for-filemaker/ That said I'm not able to make a valid self signed certificate following that article; I have been better off using openssl in terminal.

Publicly signed SSL certificates are good to document who has a web site.

Self signed SSL certificates are way better for security.

You will obviously want to test it as much as you can, but there aren't any changes in 17 that I know of that should affect FMSP 4.6.6b1. There is a specific forum here on FMForums.com for FMSP. Asking there would be the best place to get answers from them. https://fmforums.com/forum/196-fm-starting-point-general-discussions/

Maybe start a new thread for this, since it doesn't have anything to do with this thread.
