Authentication
The process of checking the validity of an account and password (if one is defined) before assigning privileges and allowing access to a system or a database file. An account authenticated via FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Server is referred to as a FileMaker Account. (FileMaker Server can also authenticate an account via External Server -- an external authentication system such as Apple Open Directory, or a Windows Domain.)
