Passwords

[Salesman0Gil]

Is there a way to change your default password?

Whis is to say your password defaults to what you used last time, and only on your computer?

I don't think there is such a thing as a "default password". Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a password?

You can have the system enter a automatically enter a User Account account and password. File -> File Options. I suppose you could also have a script that would run on file opening and have it check the IP address or maybe the MAC address and reject everyone but you.

I think I'm missing something in your question.

No you did not miss anything.

I was hoping to have something to turn on and off.

Right now I'm in development of some things and running in to some problmes

which requires a lot of opening the same file. And it is getting annoying to put my password in every 5 min. People are still using it though, so I can't just turn on guest and let people go.

Thought it would be a good development trick to be able to just enable a default password, and then when done dis-able it.

you could use External Authentication for this if you have your development files on FileMaker Server. (one of the nice benefits of being FSA: you get a 3-user license to FMS Advanced).

[Salesman0Gil]

exactly what does that mean?

a 3 user license. Is that for Server Advanced?

How does that relate to Pro?

The 3-user license is for Server Advanced and comes with Developer 7. It is included so you can test the functionality of your solution in a server environment. It is meant only for testing.
