Multiple-machine deployments

• When a FileMaker Server deployment redirects a FileMaker WebDirect connection between Web Publishing Engines, the hostname displayed in the URL bar changes to match the hostname of the destination WPE. Features that refer to specific WPE hostnames, such as web viewers, may return unexpected results.

• If the WPE is disabled on a machine in the deployment and a user uses that machine's URL to access FileMaker WebDirect, the user won't be redirected to an available WPE and won't be able to access FileMaker WebDirect.

• If the WPE is enabled on a secondary machine, FileMaker WebDirect custom apps are available through the secondary machine, even if FileMaker WebDirect is disabled on the primary machine.

• If you use a custom homepage or host custom web content for your custom app, make sure all custom content is hosted on all WPEs in the FileMaker Server deployment. Otherwise, some WPEs may not be able to access or display custom content.

• Displaying FileMaker WebDirect content in <iframe> tags of separate webpages may lead to unexpected results.

• To use plug-ins with FileMaker WebDirect in a multiple-machine deployment, install the plug-ins on the primary machine and all secondary machines.
