A READER ASKS: FileMaker External Authentication

APPENDIX 1: A Reader Asks

Do you know of a good book/tutorial that explains setting up external server authentication? http://bit.ly/5o6wD (the included link is from FileMaker Help)

-------
DWAYNE RESPONDS
I’m learning about external authentication myself and have two sources that I’m pretty happy with so far. One is free and the other is pretty inexpensive.

The free resource is from FileMaker itself and is called Server External
Authentication FileMaker 9 Product Line. It is a 57 page pdf document and does a great job. Here is the direct link ...
www.filemaker.com/downloads/pdf/techbrief_fm8_server_auth.pdf

The second is from VTC and is part of the FileMaker 10 Server Training by Wim Decorte. This is simply one of the best FileMaker video training tutorial I have ever seen. The entire running time for the videos is 6.5 hours and it is simply fantastic! There is a section in part 2 that covers external authentication.

VTC is an “all you can eat” video subscription service for $30.00 a month. You can also order the training on a CD for $99.95. Here is a link ...
