Setting up the web server

In all deployments, FileMaker Server uses Internet Information Services (IIS) in Windows or

Apache in OS

X. In a two-machine deployment, the web server on the worker serves web

publishing clients; on the master machine, the web server hosts the web-based Admin Console

application and handles some data transfer tasks. In a single-machine deployment, all of these

functions are performed by one web server.

This chapter describes the basics of requesting your own SSL certificate, enabling the web server,

and configuring additional IIS authentication settings. For more information on how to configure

the web server, see the documentation for the web server.

Requesting an SSL certificate

FileMaker Server uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt HTTPS connections

between the web server and users’ web browsers for Admin Console, FileMaker

WebDirect, and

Custom Web Publishing. The Database Server can also use SSL encryption for connections with

FileMaker

Pro clients, FileMaker Go clients, and the Web Publishing Engine. For more information

on how to use secure connections, see FileMaker

Server Help.

SSL uses digital certificates to certify the ownership of the public key used to encrypt data. By

default, FileMaker

Server provides a standard SSL certificate signed by FileMaker, Inc. that

provides a secure connection without verifying the server name. This certificate is used by all

FileMaker

Server components that use SSL and enables you to begin using HTTPS connections

immediately. However, because this certificate doesn’t verify the server name, most web browsers

will warn users of a problem with the website’s security certificate.

To prevent certificate warnings, you can request your own signed certificate that matches your

specific server name. You request a certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA) supported

by FileMaker, Inc. Use the fmsadmin certificate command to create a Certificate Signing

Request (CSR), which you send to a certificate authority, and a private key that you keep secret.

When you receive your signed certificate from the certificate authority, use a similar command to

import the certificate with your private key. For more information about the fmsadmin

certificate command, see FileMaker

Server Help.

Enabling the IIS web server in Windows

The IIS web server must be enabled on the master and worker machines in order for

FileMaker

Server to operate. The FileMaker Server installer installs the Microsoft Application

Request Routing (ARR) extension for IIS, if it is not present. If the ARR installer detects that IIS is

not enabled, it will enable IIS. However, if you need to enable IIS manually, follow the steps below

for the supported version of Windows you’re using.

To enable IIS in Windows 7 or Windows 8:

1. Choose Control Panel > Programs.

2. Click Turn Windows features on or off.

3. Select Internet Information Services, then click OK.
