Hi all

As per our migration of our FileMaker Server to the cloud, we are essentially exposing it to the Internet. We have locked down vulnerabilities to the best of our knowledge, e.g. with the use of MFA. However as we will not be having a stateful firewall, we wonder if this will leave us exposed to other forms of attacks similar to SQL injection attacks? Do we need a web application firewall (or FileMaker equivalent) in front of it?

Is it only the FileMaker client (or webdirect) that can execute operations in Filemaker Server via the open port?

Thanks

How did you implement MFA?  By using an OAuth provider that supports it?

Can you expand a bit on not having a stateful firewall?  I would think that a firewall is an absolute must and open only the ports that you'll need.  Which is 5003 for FMP and FM Go clients and 443 for WebDirect clients.

Hey Wim

We're using Azure AD with MFA and the oAuth that is built in to filemaker.

We do have a firewall in the form of a network security group in Azure which allows us to lock down the ports however the firewall will not be interpreting the traffic (like a stateful firewall would be), it will just be directing it.

Are there any threats out there to Filemaker Server that can attack (unauthenticated) via ports 5003 and 443, short of an authentication breach?

Thanks
