"This book is designed and written for three key audiences: FileMaker Pro consulting developers, FileMaker Pro commercial solution developers, and IS/IT managers," said Blackwell. "I am pleased that New Millennium has agreed to be the publisher of my book. I believe the book covers a number of topics that developers and IS/IT managers need to know in order properly to secure their FileMaker Pro systems, and that's why I wrote it." Among the topics covered in the book are FileMaker Pro Security Architecture Issues and Practices, Security Deployment Practices, Security Configuration Practices, FileMaker Server and External Authentication, and Conversion Issues and Practices. The book also covers such items as granularity in the new security model of FileMaker Pro 7, scripted account management practices, Web publishing security model, and key features of the new security architecture.
