librone Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi experts, I have a simple question. I have a inactive account in my file. Is it possible to active this account from external tool ( applescript, vbs, ...) ? Thanks in advance Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I have a inactive account in my file. Is it possible to active this account from external tool ( applescript, vbs, ...) ? Hopefully [color:red]not, directly via an external API such as you describe, otherwise it would be a big security hole. Presumably this is an internally authenticated Account, not an externally auithenticated one. You can however reactivate it with the Enable Account script step. You can also deactivate it the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librone Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Steven Hopefully not, ... Presumably Hopefully not and presumably aren't "NO". Can you ask Filemaker inc. engineers? You can however reactivate it with the Enable Account script step. You can also deactivate it the same way. I know these script steps . If engineers say "NO" and one day these script steps could also be used with full access account, it would be a big step forward. sorry for my English Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 It is possible to run a script from an external API such as VBS or Apple Events and have that script activate or deactivate an Account. Othewise there is no other way to activate an internal Accoount from an external API. The Account Management script steps by express intent and design do not work with [Full Access] Accounts. In the design and planning stage for the new security model, we deemed that to be a major security issue if that were to happen. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Account Management script steps by express intent and design do not work with [Full Access] Accounts. In the design and planning stage for the new security model, we deemed that to be a major security issue if that were to happen. Steven Oh! No,..."by express intent and design"... I have a good script to use. Allow User Abort [ Off ] If [ TABLE::Afielddeveloper = "here secret password developer" ] Set Field [ TABLE::Afielddeveloper; " " ] Enable Account [ Account Name:"ADMIN" ] [ Activate ] Re-Login [ Account Name:"ADMIN" ] [ No dialog ] Enable Account [ Account Name:"ADMIN" ] [ Deactivate ] # Hi developer, now you are ADMIN and you are in and only you can do it....again. End If But this script don't work, it don't work because ..."by express intent and design"... Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
