Setting up OAUTH with Google in FileMaker 16

Setting up OAuth with Google in FileMaker 16

One of the many exciting features in FileMaker 16 (released May 2017) is OAuth or Open Authentication. Open Authentication allows users to connect to a FileMaker database after authenticating with an external (non-FileMaker) account. At the present time, FileMaker supports OAuth through Google, Amazon and Microsoft.

If you're a developer there are two main questions to answer. First, should I do this? And second, how do I do it? I'll answer the first question later. It's important.

But the other question--How do I setup OAuth?--is answered in the attached document. I wrote this tutorial with the help of my friend and colleague Taylor Sharpe of Taylor Made Services, also here in Dallas. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to get your users authenticating into your FileMaker databases using Google. (Another tutorial for Microsoft is coming as soon as I have time to finish it.)

Use the following link to download the tutorial. Enjoy.

NOTE: My apologies to anybody who tried to access this document recently (mostly in May and early June 2018) and was unable to get to it. Lots of things going on in my life and I was unable to respond to the flood of requests.

      Nevermind, if you click the icon, it takes you to a dead Google Drive link. If you click the text, it takes you to working Dropbox link.

iPhone 5's fingerprint authentication and the law

Very interesting article by Marcia Hoffman at WIRED about the possible legal ramifications of the fingerprint authentication scheme used by the new iPhone 5S: " Apple's Fingerprint ID May Mean You Can't 'Take the Fifth' ". I don't plan to upgrade as my original iPhone 5 is working just fine. But I'm hoping that Apple has indeed done fingerprint ID right. In the past, it's been problematic.

CMAssistant progress report

As of mid-December 2013, the latest version of CMAssistant is 8-point-something. Somewhat confusingly (to me, anyway) we're working on two tracks here: There's still a version that runs in FileMaker Pro 11 and I've made a few improvements to it. But there's a different version that runs in FileMaker Pro 12 (or 13) which has more — but somewhat different — improvements. I can't keep this up for long. I'm about to cease further development of the FileMaker 11 version. As soon as I finish adding support for adding locations via iPhone to CMAssistant 8 for FileMaker Pro 12, I'm also about to cease work on that line of development — in order to work on a complete, from-the-ground up rebuild in FileMaker 13. It'll probably take a month or two to complete this rebuild. But when I'm done it's going to be fantastic.  DELIVS list in CMAssistant 8 for FileMaker Pro 12. Click to view full size.
