Access Privileges

[DrugBust]

Do the access privileges I make in my database for multiple groups and passwords still work when I use the Web Security Database? They don't seem to...

You can configure the Web Companion to use either the Web Security Database or the FileMaker Pro Access Privileges (Preferences/Application/Plugins).

The thing I liked about the Web Security Database was the password protection on-line. So when they clicked on a database a pop up window came up asking for a password. Will filemaker do the same? I can't seem to get that working.

If web companion is configured to use FileMaker access prvileges (and not web security) then users will be prompted for a *password* only. The browser authentication box has a field for usename, but FMP ignors it and only checks the password.

Note that if the database has a <no password> defined, the browser won;t ask for a password to browse the database.
