Hello,

When developing an FM-based runtime application, preventing access to the database structure and scripts is an essential prerequisite to me.

Password based protection doesn't seem to be very effective, since the passwords can be figured out if the user has the know-how.

My question is: by permanently removing adm access from files, when creating the runtime application, can I be 100% sure that nobody, no matter his/her skill level, will have access to the runtime application database structure and scripts?

Are there any other valid alternatives?

No system is 100% secure

No. You can make it more difficult, but not impossible.

Hello,

Filemaker close the login window after 5 error attempts? I think this prevents the brute force method, or reduce the risk.

But, there are other methods like lostpassword.

A brute force attack likely would not use the login window UI. Removing [Full Access] Accounts with the Developer Tool usually thwarts most of the password crackers.
