Hello everybody,

 

I also posted this on the FileMaker forums but unfortunately got no response.

 

I configured my FileMaker Server 10 (on Small Business Server 2008) to allow login via External Authentication. I also created a global group "testgroup" and assigned my user "testuser" to the group. In the FileMaker database I created the group account for "testgroup".

When I want to open the database (open remote without filter, then select database) I still get the credential window. However, when I enter testgrouptestuser I can login using the password of my domain user. So authentication works, SSO unfortunately not.

 

Any idea where to look?

 

Thanks

 

Steve

The machine where you run FMP on is a member of the same domain?  And that is a Windows machine?

Are you logged into the OS on the machine with the test user account?

However, when I enter testgrouptestuser I can login using the password of my domain user

 

"testgrouptestuser" --> that's not really how you enter the account name, is it?   The group name should not be used at all.  You can use this UNC-type syntax if you include the domain name:

 

DOMAINaccount

or

account@domain

or

account

 

all 3 should work fine as long as FMS machine is part of the domain.

As Wim points out, both the server and the workstation must be Windows OS.  And there must be an Active Directory Domain Controller here.

 

Also, SBS 2008 is not a supported OS for FileMaker Server.

Thanks for the quick replies. (Un)fortunately everything was set up ok. Another restart made it work instantly.

 

Thanks again.
