transfer accounts to another solution?

FileMaker 9

I haven't seen this answer anywhere, but think this is the right forum to ask.

I have solutions that exist in two places - a dev server and a live server. Some of these solutions use the data separation model. I usually fix bugs and write new features in the dev server, then post to the live server during scheduled downtime.

However, the user accounts are not in sync. The solutions contain a mix of externally-authenticated accounts and internally-created FileMaker accounts. Obviously, I'm not worried about the external accounts. Is there any way to transfer the FileMaker accounts from one solution to another, such as from live to dev?

TIA

Yes, but you cannot transfer the passwords becasue they are not stored in the file.

External Server Authentication is the answer to this problem.
