I think I’ve set everything up correctly, but I keep getting an “authentication error.” It says my FileMaker account name or password is wrong. What gives?

The account (or accounts) Rfm uses to log in to FileMaker must have the “Access via XML Web Publishing (fmxml)” extended privilege. In FileMaker, choose File -> Manage -> Accounts & Priviliges (or File -> Define -> Accounts & Privileges if you have an older version of FileMaker). Switch to the Privilege Sets tab and open the privilege set your Rfm account is assigned to. In the bottom-left corner of the Edit Privilege Set window, turn on the “Access via XML Web Publishing” extended privilege. Dismiss all the open dialog boxes and try again. Rfm should be much happier now.
