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.

   For	Enable
   FileMaker WebDirect	Web Publishing
   FileMaker Data API	FileMaker Data API
   ODBC and JDBC	ODBC / JDBC

   See FileMaker Server Help.

• You can configure Admin Console using the FileMaker Server CLI or the Admin API. See CLI Help and FileMaker Admin API Guide.

• You can change your user name and password in Admin Console or on the Linux CLI. See Changing user credentials.
