You'll find this "Sync" privilege set in GoZyncMobile as well so if you log GoZyncMobile in using "Sync" in your Upon Opening script AND GoZyncMobile and GoZyncHosted have the same account name and password for the "Sync" privilege set, you can turn off the File Options account in GoZyncHosted. That is idea.

So in this ideal setup it would look like this:

-> GoZyncMobile (GZM) uses logs into the Sync privilege set via your Upon Opening script when it is opened on iOS.

-> GZM shares this "Sync" account name and password with GoZyncHosted (GZH) and passes these credentials up to GZH during sync, opening it under "Sync" as well. (You don't have to do anything about this "passing credentials" that is just how FileMaker opens files.)

-> If GZH is opened by something other than GZM, users will be asked to log in.

-> If GZM is opened off of an iOS device, users will be asked to log in.

-> ALL users will be asked to log in to your hosted files at the beginning of the sync.

!! Our Recommendations: Your Mobile Files

So here are our recommendations for securing your mobile files (you do this to GoZyncMobile as well if you wish).

-> Secure your iOS device with a passcode.

-> Create an upon opening script in your file that uses Get ( ApplicationVersion ) to test if the user is on FMGo or FMPro. Run this script with Allow User Abort Off

-> If they are on Pro, call the relogin script step with NO options so they need an account to use the file.

-> If they are on Go, call the relogin script step using an account that lets them do their work but is NOT shared with the hosted solution.

-> Use the fmreauthenticate extended privilege to control when users will be required to reauthenticate after not using FileMaker Go for a specified period of time. See %newwin% [[http://www.filemaker.com/support/product/docs/12/filemaker-go/fmgo_development.pdf | FileMaker's Go Development Guide]] for more details.

-> When users go to sync they will be asked to log in to GoZyncHosted, and will then do so using an accounts shared with the hosted files... (see the next section)

Several of the layouts in our sample mobile file are exposed in the layout menu. This is done to make it easier for developers to get in there and hook up the files to their solutions. When you deploy these files you'll want to make sure that only the solution specific layouts are exposed in the layout menu, hiding any layouts in the Under the Hood menu. Same goes for the GoZyncConnector file.

!! Authentication

It is up to you to decide if you want to require users to authenticate in to your mobile file on their iOS device. If you do choose to require authentication, you'll want to add the

> > privilege set stuff for preventing constant auth requests.

When it comes to your hosted files, your mobile file will actually connect to an intermediary file: GoZyncConnector (here is a [[MapOfZync | map]] of how all this work).

When the remote file hits the intermediary, you can choose to ask for the user to authenticate, but they only need to log into the intermediary file: your remote users don't need accounts in your master solution. The intermediary, GoZyncConnector, then sends its contents to the main solution either manually (in which case a user authenticates into your main solution) or as a script schedule, which is itself run under an authenticated account. (Learn more about [[automated processing]].)

You can also use "file protection" (introduced in FileMaker 11) between the remote and intermediary files if you'd like, and/or between intermediary and the main solution
