Enable OAuth identity provider authentication

With FileMaker Server, you can use supported OAuth identity providers to control access to files without having to manage an independent list of accounts in each file.

Set up OAuth identity provider account access within the file using FileMaker Pro, host the file using FileMaker Server, and configure the host for OAuth identity provider authentication. To set up account access in FileMaker Pro, see Set up OAuth identity provider authentication.

To enable OAuth identity provider authentication in FileMaker Server:

  1. In FileMaker Server Admin Console, click the Administration > External Authentication tab.

  2. For Identity Authentication Settings, configure the OAuth identity provider that will be used to authenticate access.

  3. For Database Sign In, enable External Server Accounts.

  4. Enable the OAuth identity provider that you configured for Identity Authentication Settings.

Test thoroughly. See Test security settings.
