Is it possible to use FileMaker Server 13's new WebDirect system to serve Instant Web Publishing solutions that were developed and maintained in FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced?
I've enabled IWP from within FMP 12 Advanced and can connect via web browser while it is running in FMP. Once I copy it to FileMaker Server it no longer has web running on the project.
The demo project (FMServer_Sample.fmp12) that came with FileMaker Server 13 runs web by default and works fine from Server. IF I open FMServer_Sample.fmp12 in FileMaker 12 Advanced it will not show up in the FMP IWP list in my web browser. I can open FMServer_Sample.fmp12 in FMP12 Advanced and make edits and saves, and it will still work in FM Server 13 WebDirect.
Look under the Extended Privileges tab of Manage > Security. It's the presence or absence of the "fmwebdirect" or "fmiwp" extended privilege that determines who can access the file.
If you had opened the file with FM13 (Pro or Advanced), it would have created the missing privilege for you. But you can manually add it.
Note that FM13 no longer automatically creates the fmiwp privilege, but if you open a FM13 file in FM12 it will add it.
Don't forget to assign the extended privilege to a privilege set. That's why the sample file didn't show up in your IWP list in the web browswer.

A customer of ours is using a kind of sharepoint (not sharepoint) -a document repository- that, for what I saw, uses webdav.
There are two terminal servers, one of them is Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter v6.1 build 7601, Office 2016, and Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.17609IS. They couldn't access anything at all, they went as far clicking "edit" on the site and then Word they that he's sorry because he couldn't open the document.
I've fixed that, I added the site to the Trusted Sites list, and disabled SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0. Local admins can open and update documents. Non admin users can open the document but not update it, and by can't I mean that Word opens the document in read-only mode and any attempt to switch to read-write will save the document in the local computer.
Now, the other server, Windows Server 2012 R2 version 6.3 build 9600, Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.19867, the former fix did the trick for both admins and non-admins.
Does anyone know where to look?
Thanks,

I'd like to automate several FileMaker tasks using Windows Task Scheduler. It looks like step scripts are the way to go, but I'm not sure. I'd like to run tasks, say exporting for example, several times per day, but WITHOUT opening the FileMaker GUI. Is that possible? Any tips you have would be great. Thanks.
It's possible to initiate a Filemaker script using a schedule server script with Filemaker Server. However, if the database is not hosted using Filemaker server, or not open using Filemaker Pro (sounds like your situation), then there is no active engine able to actually perform the calculations (script steps, etc). The database has to be running somewhere to initiate and perform any scripts.
If the database is hosted using Filemaker Server then it is pretty easy to setup a scheduled script that will run at a designated time. If you don't have a license of Filemaker Server some Filemaker cloud hosting providers have monthly plans that are relatively cheap ($20/month with unlimited connections), and they'll work with you to setup a scheduled script (for free).
The best way to automate FileMaker tasks is to use FileMaker Server which has scheduled scripts. Of course it is more expensive than standalone version of FileMaker Pro.
If you automate tasks on a local FileMaker file, you can not avoid starting FileMaker and opening the file.
FileMaker has a limited support for VBScript, you can run FileMaker, open file and run a FileMaker Script from VBScript and add that script to Windows Task Scheduler.
This is not preferable way, but if you have no other option, this may be handy.
in Task Scheduler, Create a task
on Action tab, choose
"Start Program"
on the next screen, point to FileMaker Pro exe file, typically it is in C:\Program Files\Filemaker Pro\FileMaker.exe
Add argument:
"fmp://hostName/fileName.fmp12?script=scriptName¶m=optionalScriptParameters"
please read more here http://www.filemaker.com/help/12/fmp/en/html/sharing_data.16.7.html about url schema. This will vary depending on whether you are hosting your file on FileMaker Server or opening it locally.
Note: avoid having spaces or special characters in script name.
Save the task. Reopen task properties and save your windows account credentials, so that the task may run without you having to login.
either save FileMaker login credentials upon login (if your FM version allows), or pass credentials through fmp url (as described in the link above), or go to FileMaker file options, and use credentials in "Log in using": (which is not secure and not recommended).
I am using this method to automatically send emails with PDF attachments, since FileMaker server does not let you Export Records as PDF (not until v.16) on server scripts.
When trying to configure the TFS 2010 backup using the TFS Power Tools I kept running into teh following error message:
Account TFS\tfsadmin failed to create backups using path \\tfs-xxxxxxx.local\TFSBackups
The strange thin is that TFS\TFSAdmin has full permissions on both share and file system and that the share path doesn't contain any spaces (thanks for MSDN forums for pointing that out).
I tried backing up through the SQL Server Management Studio, and sure, there the backups fail too.
It turns out that while the backup job is started using the account specified in the Create Backup Wizard of the TFS Power Tools, SQL Server will try to write the files to the share using its own service account.
So in addition to whomever needs access to the share, you need to add the service account running SQL Server to that share as well. In this case it was running under NETWORK SERVICE, so adding MACHINENAME$ to the share's list of permitted users did wonders.
We Use IBM Personal Communications iSeries Access for Windows version 6.0. When you launch the program you initially get a Log on Prompt that lets you enter a server, user name and password.
It then gives you the log on screen to the server itself and you have to log on a second time. Between the two log ons I'm trying to work out a "Startup Macro"
I don't have anything in it right now because I cannot figure out how to get ONE particular value from the Session, the USER NAME.
I can get the screen title, session name, macro name, but I can NOT for the life of me figure out how to get the user name. I've tried every possible combination of strings and "variable" names I can think of, and nothing.
I've searched the web and all I can ever find is how to record and auto logon to the green screen which is not what I want.
To be clear I just need the Username used to logon to the Personal Communications iSeries Access for Windows program, pre green-screen logon.
It's important to note that IBM i Access for Windows is much more than just the 5250 emulator. There's an ODBC driver, a printer emulator, AFP printer drivers and the graphical Navigator for i. That IBM i signon popup doesn't come from the 5250 emulator. It comes from a lower level IBM i Access for Windows process. Try it yourself. Reboot the PC. Don't start the emulator. DO start IBM i Navigator for Windows. You'll get the signon popup.
It looks like you are trying to automate a 'no signon' signon. The user name is probably stored in the registry, depending on the version of Windows you are using and the version of IBM i Access for Windows. Windows 7: Start > All Programs > IBM i Access for Windows > IBM I Access for Windows Properties Choose the Administration System tab and you'll see the server and user. HKCU > Software > IBM > Client Access Express > CurrentVersion > AS400 Operations Navigator > Application Administration > CurrentAdminSysUser > My Connections
I think, for this, you need to get into the ActiveX Control that comes with iSeries Access. This little code C# snippet should work:
AS400System sys1 = new AS400System();
sys1.Define("mySystemNameHere");
if (sys1.IsConnected(cwbcoServiceEnum.cwbcoServiceAny) != 1)
{
sys1.Connect(cwbcoServiceEnum.cwbcoServiceTelnet);
}
String user = sys1.UserID;
sys1.Disconnect(cwbcoServiceEnum.cwbcoServiceAll);
You'll need to find cwbx.dll and add it as a reference to your project.
If the user is already connected from another application, no dialog will appear. The program will connect, get the connected user id, and then disconnect. If the user has never connected since logging in, then a logon dialog will appear.
Hi I am currently writing a Test script for an ecommerce site using Seleneium IDE, this is in a testing environment in HTTP. The issue I am having is the test payment gateway 3D Secure is in HTTPS so when using FireFox the browser displays the security warning message when I am returning from the payment gateway 3D Secure HTTPS to the site testing environment.
'Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?'
I have tried the various commands in the IDE for waitForAlert* and asertAlert* but this javascript alert just seems to over ride any of the commands I use and essentially halts the script until manual intervention is used.
I am unable to turn this particular alert off in FF from what I can assertain from various forums as it is too important to be switched off, I have tried in FF about:config
I can obviusly switch the 3D secure off to allow thee script to run, but I would prefer a complete user scenario to be tested as opposed to a test adapted to suit automation.
Many thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
I had exactly the same problem :
I use Selenium web driver to test against my local http server which sends redirects to https service (3DS as well btw ;). The problem is not with certs, but with this hardcoded warning of switching between https/http.
Based on the link from MacGyver's answer and this answer Key press in (Ctrl+A) Selenium WebDriver, I tested this and I can confirm it closes "Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party" dialog:
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
The other solution, seems to work fine but you'll get UnhandledAlertException with latest Selenium versions (e.g. 2.25.0) :
Actions a = new Actions(driver);
a.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).perform();
Option #1:
The easiest way is to remove the option in security options for your profile:

Option #2:
Not sure if this applies to an untrusted certifiate or your security warning, but the forum thread seemed to fit. It requires that you use Selenium RC Server.

If using Firefox 3, see the following post https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Cert_override.txt
The solution I use to get past this security pop-up is only applicable to Firefox 3 browsers and might be more of an hack than a fix but it works.
Run the selenium test
Select "Accept this certificate permanently" when prompted by popup
Click on the OK button (it might be neccessary to have a pause after this because we need to open explorer to find a file now)
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to => "C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\customProfileDirxxxx"
This is a temparary profile created by Firefox which contains a file called "cert_override.txt"
Copy "cert_override.txt" to your temp directory
Stop your selenium server.
Open your "selenium-server.jar" file from "c:\selenium-remote-control-xxx\selenium-server-xxx" using WinRar
Drag "cert_override.txt" file into the "selenium-server.jar\customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME" folder in WinRar (do not delete or edit anything in the .jar file!!!!!)
Close WinRar, start selenium and try it again :)
