Configuring Admin Console

  1. On the Admin Console Sign In page, enter your user name and password, then click Sign In.

  2. On the Admin Console Security Settings page, decide whether to import an SSL certificate.

    Because data security is important, you are asks you to import an SSL certificate when you first open Admin Console.

    • If you have a custom SSL certificate to import, follow the instructions to import the SSL certificate.

    • If you don't have a custom SSL certificate to import, close Admin Console and request a custom SSL certificate from a trusted CA, or continue without importing an SSL certificate. (Open Admin Console and click the Configuration > SSL Certificate tab to import a custom SSL certificate later.)

  3. If you want to allow technologies such as FileMaker WebDirect, FileMaker Data API, and ODBC and JDBC to access hosted databases, enable settings on the Connectors tab in Admin Console.
