Hi,

I am new to FMS (10).

My old FMS 8 hosts a database and users can connect to it without authenticating.

I have downloaded FMS 10 trial and saw an option for Server External Authentication. But what I couldn't find was the possibility to host databases without requiring the user to authenticate (allow anonymous users). Can I do this in FMS 10?

Thanks for your reply,

Stefan

Each file being hosted has its own set of accounts and privileges, which is what FMS uses to allow or deny access. There is no specific FMS feature to grant "Guest" access, but you can setup an account as "Guest" with a suitable set of privileges.

External Authentication has been available since version 7. But the authentication setup itself is done in the files, not on FMS,

It sounds like your file is set up to automatically log people in with a certain account (you can find it under File->Options when you open your file with FMP).

And that will work in FMS10 just like it did in your old FMS8.
