FMP 12 cannot see FMS14 with SSL enabled

[RJA]

Hello Everyone. We just applied a SSL certificate that "originated from a certificate authority supported by FileMaker." We checked off "Use SSL for database connections" and restarted FMS 14. What we found was that the Mac clients running FMP12 can't see or connect to any hosted databases. The odd thing is that the Windows 7 machines connect without a problem. The macs are running Yosemite and we have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software w/o any luck. Re-install process was to install the base 12.0 software, followed by the 12.4 update for Mac and then the security update that was released in April. 

We installed the trial version of FMP 14 and it worked just fine. I am trying to avoid dropping a few thousand but no one, including FM support seems to have an answer. 

Anyone experience this before?? Thx

You have to install the very latest version of FileMaker Pro 12 and/or FIleMaker® Pro 13.0v9 to connect to FIleMaker Server 14.

 

See http://thefmkb.com/14358 and http://thefmkb.com/14256   for further details.   This all deals with Heartbleed, POODLE, Freak, etc.

Yep, I have done both of those and also verified that root.pem is the January 12, 2015 version for my FMP 12 installation.

Recommend then that you contact FMI Tech Support. You may have discovered an issue.
