If external authentication is enabled but you don't want to use it, you can store credentials with this command: If you are not asked for a user/pass, then it has be properly enabled.

FILEMAKER SERVER 17 SSL INSTALL
(default install of Windows should work with "Administrators" as the group name) Add a group name and click Save Authentication Settings.Administration > External Athentication > External Accounts for Admin Console Sign In: click Change.Log in to FileMaker Server 17 admin console.If you want to, external authentication can easily be enabled on a default installation of FileMaker Server and does not require an Active Directory: If you modify your scheduled task to run as a different user, that might break this feature. I haven't tested this scenario but the credentials can probably only be retrieved by the same user account that created them. The next time the script runs, it will load the stored credentials from Credential Manager. These credentials will be stored in Windows Credential Manager the same place FileMaker Server stores your encryption at rest password. If it's not, you will be asked for your Admin Console Sign In when the script runs. If external authentication is setup for the user the script is run as to access the Admin Console, then that will be used. This script will seamlessly and securely manage authentication for you.
