Authentication Setting

[dvl001]

We have 13 PCs install w/ Filemaker Pro 9 and have Virtual Machine hosting the Database w/ FM Server 9. Everything is install however I don't know how to setup restriction on the 11 users to access to database. On the other hand, I would like to setup 2 user to be able to access to Database w/ Read&Write Access. What should I do? Is instruction on it?

The 2 users would have to be in a seperate AD group which should also be the same name as you have setup as a FM Account.

So for example, if you have setup the FM Account (which is setup as Authenticated by External Server) as something like FM-RW, then the AD group would have to be the same. This account would also have a privilege set that allows for Read and writing.

Hi John,

I am sorry b/c I am new to this. I have tried to setup the AD but it's asking me for Directory Server: and Directory Entry Point:. The Directory Server is the Server Name that I enter right? What is the Directory Entry Point?

That is registering the server with LDAP, not setting up Active Directory.
