It is just something to be aware of.īut there are other and more subtle differences between the Linux and the Windows / macOS deployment options. This is true in general for all files hosted on FileMaker Cloud and not dependent on whether you use AD FS as your identity provider. Claris ID authentication is not available when the file is not hosted on FileMaker Cloud. You also cannot take a file from FileMaker Cloud and host it on your own server without modifying the accounts setup. You will need to invite each individual member of your AD Devs group through their Claris ID and manually add them to your FileMaker Cloud Devs group. You can only choose from the groups you set up in your FileMaker Cloud customer console. The AD groups to which the user belongs play no role. In FileMaker Server for Linux, AD FS is a fourth External Authentication option next to the three that are also available on Windows and macOS: Azure AD, Google, and Amazon accounts.Īdding the AD group to the Claris ID section.

A process we described in this blog post.

On FileMaker Cloud, you have the ability to add an external IdP in your Customer Console.

You will see AD FS mentioned in the FileMaker Server settings and the official documentation only for FileMaker Cloud and the Linux version of FileMaker Server:

Run your own on-premise server on Linux, macOS, or Windowsīut there are some important differences.

Using AD FS is supported on all FileMaker Servers, whether you: You can host FileMaker Server in the cloud and still use your own in-house AD to authenticate users. That makes AD FS ideal for blended on-prem + cloud strategies. With it, you can use your on-premise Active Directory (AD) without having to make the FileMaker Server machine a member server in that AD domain. Our consultants have written extensively on using various OAuth identity providers and presented on the topic at various DevCons, including at last year’s Engage 2020.Īctive Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is one of these identity providers (IdPs) and a very interesting one.

We are big fans of using modern authentication to let users into FileMaker solutions.
