OAuth external authentication with the Data API
ExpertConfigure the Data API to accept OAuth identity provider tokens so external users authenticate with their existing organizational credentials.
What you'll learn
- How external OAuth authentication works with FileMaker Server
- How to obtain a Data API token using an OAuth ID token
- The FileMaker Server configuration required for external authentication
FileMaker Server supports external authentication through OAuth providers (Google, Microsoft Azure AD, and others). When configured, users can log in to FileMaker — including via the Data API — using their identity provider credentials instead of a separate FileMaker account, simplifying identity management for organizations with existing SSO.
How FileMaker external auth works
FileMaker Server is configured with one or more OAuth providers. The external provider issues an ID token (JWT) to the client. The client presents this token to FileMaker Server, which validates it with the provider and maps the identity to a FileMaker account.
