FileMaker Security

[mindtpi99]

Hi

Can someone please tell me how secure Filemaker 6 and FM Server 5.5 are? If I have set different levels of passwords in a database file (admin and general users), is there anyway that someone could get round the admin password to change startup Applescripts in the database (assuming only the admin user has access to these)

What I want to do is lock down a database as tightly as possible so users on the network can't get into Scriptmaker or change the start up script. I don't want to bind the databases in Developer as if is networked and runs the web companion. Does anyon e know if there are any backdoors to getting into them? I'm not worried about the web security aspect of it as I have that pretty well tied

Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can still use Developer to remove admin access and still have it be networked... the runtime and remove admin access options are independent of one another. This is really the only way to guarantee that no one will be able to modify the DB structure.

There are plenty of exploits for getting into files, many of which are detailed in "Advanced FileMaker Pro 5.5 Techniques for Developers" by Moyer and Bowers.
