Can anyone tell me what can be done to utilize SSL security on a server where we have FMP5.5 unlimited running using web companion. We have no problems serving the dbs with this until we try to apply the SSL. Then we cannot serve the data. I have searched and searched the FileMaker site and the only thing I can find says it is possible but no instructions on how. Any help would be much appreciated.

SSL will work with your full Web server.

You'll install Web Server Connector into that Web Server.

Connector will get the data from one or more WebCompanion.

BTW that is not increasing security for FM against database hacking.

Thanks for your response Anatoli. I figured out that we need connector right before I got your message.

Now my problem is that I cannot get web connector to run on the server. I installed from the console, but cannot get it to display the config page to set it up. I have it set up on a network machine here and it works fine but it doens't seem to work from the server. I have tried accessing by "localhost", the server IP etc. but no luck. I cannot find the page. Is there any way to tell if connector is even actually running? The log files all end with a shutdown so it is hard to tell if anything is actually there. Could it be just a bad install? We tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still have the same problem.
