Why system login tries to authenticate and how can I use it?

Hi

I am just wondering if this is possible:

When was browsing the FM Server Access log found couple of instence like the attached screenshot. When I try open a database at first it tries to authenticate using my system user id(Which is my novell user id) which I didn't configure anywhere around FileMaker client(Account Name, User Name). I use a different username to login to the database and my account name is also different.

So that means, user's FileMaker client somehow tries to use the system user id and then prompts for user name password.

I am really curious to use system user id, so that I don't have create a common user id in each Fm database or create each user account in each database.

Can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Can I do that?

Yes you can. Search the FM Forums for External Server Authentication. There is an entire subforum here for just this purpose.
