Wow. This product address so many security setup issues that I have dealt with in the past. You'd think FileMaker would have created these solutions into the base product and not relied on 3rd party to pick up the slack.

This info is not on their website as of yet. I'm wondering if this product banishes the age old problem of having to kick everyone out of the database to make any security password/access changes.

PR] Waves in Motion announces Security Manager 1.0 for FileMaker Pro --

Hassle free security management! Manage the complex world of security in

one simple database.

FILEMAKER DEVELOPER CONFERENCE, Palm Desert, CA - August 12, 2002. Waves in

Motion unveiled an innovative security enhancement today at the FileMaker

Developer Conference; "Security Manager 1.0".

"This product will revolutionize the way administrators manage FileMaker

Pro passwords and access privileges," said Vincenzo P. Menanno, President

of Waves in Motion. "It enhances security, eases database administration,

and simplifies access for your users".

Security Manager 1.0 is a secure user-login system that can integrate with

existing databases without scripting. Once installed, Security Manager

provides a single point of entry for any number of users and databases,

eliminating password sharing, forgotten passwords and time-consuming

FileMaker Pro password changes.

Security Manager provides the following benefits:

Improves security

- require username and password to log in

- eliminate password sharing by giving each user a separate account

- create case sensitive passwords

- enforce a minimum password length

- enforce password changes with password expiration

- other optional industry standard password policies

Improves manageability

- easily remove a user's access on a specified date or on the fly

- allow users to change their own passwords

- temporarily remove access to a specific database

- automatically generate random passwords for new users

- require users to change their password the first time they log in

Improves usability

- provide professional username/password log-in dialogs

- optionally present users with a list of usernames to choose from

- shows users only databases they have access to

Unlike other log-in schemes, Security Manager works with FileMaker Access

Privileges, not against them. Administrators can create multiple groups and

passwords in FileMaker Pro, with full support for Layout, Field and Record

level security. Security Manager will open the databases with the right

password for the user, so no functionality is lost.

Waves in Motion plans to release Security Manager in early September.

Developer Conference attendees can see demonstrations of Security Manager

throughout the show at booth 11.
