Prevent access?

[carlosnorvik]

Hi:

I have SC on a W7 Profesional machine and Tomcat.

FMS 11.

Any recommendations on how  to restrict WAN access to the files hosted by SC w/o having to use passwords ?

ideally I would like to restrict it to the users computers MAC addresses, but I have read that is not possible.

Could it be done by restricting it to the IP’s?

Any other suggestions ?

thanks and regards

Carlos

MAC addresses and IP's can be spoofed. An alternative to having to log in would be to use third party authentication using for instance Active Directory. In that case the user logs into your AD first and FMS can then use SSO to allow access of that user to FM as long as they are member of the correct group.
