Hosting Filemaker 13 application on Filemaker 13 server with WebDirect

I downloaded Filemaker Pro 13 and Filemaker 13 Server trial versions running on Windows 8. I have an app I developed in FM 12 that I want to host on FM server 13 using WebDirect. The server install on Windows 8 went well but I get an "Registration with directory service failed" error message when I test the directy service settings.

 

I have the following questions with regard to this installation:

 

Do I have to install Active Directory on Windows 8?

Which IP address do I use to set in the Entry Point: The Filemaker Server, Web Server or the Web Publishing Engine IP address?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

That "Directory Service" registration has nothing to do with authenticating users at all so it does rely on AD (although it can work with AD).  See the note in the UI, first line, if your users do not use the feature below then don't bother with this Directory Service registration
