You can grant access to the Admin Console to an Active Directory group of users by way of AD FS. This truly is new functionality, and this one is only available in the FileMaker Server for Linux version. New – part II: AD FS login to the Admin Console in FileMaker Server for Linux The only difference is that on anything but FileMaker Server for Linux, you need to add the configuration in the dbs_config.xml file directly, as described in our white papers. Note that this does not mean that AD FS is only possible with FileMaker Server for Linux you can use AD FS with any FileMaker Server, including the current FileMaker Cloud edition and any on-premise FileMaker Server since version 17. As an example, let’s use a server where we have configured Google as an identity provider in the Admin Console and Red Hat’s Ke圜loak configured in the dbs_config.xml file. For any other provider that you configure through the dbs_config.xml file, in any client before 19.0, the additional OAuth provider’s name and icon always show up as Microsoft. For the standard three that you can set up in the Admin Console (Azure AD, Google, and Amazon), their proper name and icon are used. When you configure an OAuth Identity Provider, that provider is added to the Pro, Go, and WebDirect login dialogs for the user to click on and start the authentication process. Let’s start with that last one since that one has the widest application. All 19.1 clients now show a cleaner provider selection in the login dialog.

FileMaker Server for Linux allows an AD FS group for access to the Admin Console.

FileMaker Server for Linux exposes AD FS as a configurable IdP in the Admin Console.These are all things that you can already do with FileMaker Server 17 and later, so nothing new in the FileMaker 19.1 platform release. 1īesides the obvious benefits of centralized user account management, you also get seamless Multi-factor authentication, account self-service for your users, and even completely passwordless logins. In the past year, Steven Blackwell and I have authored a series of white papers to underline that importance and to provide walkthroughs detailing setting up IdPs such as Okta, Ping, Auth0, OneLogin, Ke圜loak, Sign in with Apple, etc. Authenticating your users through an Identity Provider (IdP) that supports the OAuth standard has become a crucial requirement in an increasing number of solutions.
