Hello,

I'm having an issue with running a script in an .fmp12 file hosted on FileMaker Server 12. The file uses external authentication, but also has an FMP authenticated "dev" account with full access priveleges. I created a script that has the Re-login script step in it so that I can switch back and forth between externally authenticated accounts and the Dev account.

When I have the file saved on the desktop, the script works fine; I can switch back and forth between the Dev account and the FMP authenticated test account with limited access privileges I created. (the test account uses the identical privilege set as the externally authenticated accounts on the server.) But when I move the file to FMP Server and try to run the script, I get the error, "Your access privileges do not allow you to perform this action." I have the script set to run with full access privileges.

I'm not sure where to start trouble shooting this. It's odd, because the exact same script works properly in a separate FMP Server hosted file I developed a while back.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

How did you upload the file to the server? Did you use the Console to do it. or did you do it manually?

FMPServer is running on a Windows server. I believe the file was uploaded manually (as was the earlier file where the script was working). I actually didn't do it; our sole IT guy has the keys to the server, so to speak. I'm trying to change that, though, so I can handle the server end of things myself.

When you refer to the console, I assume you mean the FMP Server console rather than a windows command console (or Mac terminal or console)?

what else is in that relogin script? Just the relogin script step?

Have you tried the full UPN or UNC account name syntax for the domain account?

Most probably the privilege set linked to the dev account does not have the "fmapp" extended privilege.

Good one, Vaughan.

Yes, the fmapp setting was the culprit. Thanks a lot for the help!
