If you do not want to use the default way to log in to a database via Instant web publishing you can use the following methods below on your own website. If you have any questions you can get help from our tech support department.
In all the examples I used the FMServer_Sample file that comes with FileMaker Server as the sample file to log in to. Remember to replace FMServer_Sample with the name of your database as well as "localhost" with the name of the web publishing engine server (i.e. wpe12.oditech.com)
Log in to a file via form
<form action="http://fmserver.example.com/fmi/iwp/cgi" method="get">

<input type="hidden" name="acct" value="account">
<input type="hidden" name="-authdb">
<label>Account</label><br />
<input type="text" name="name"><br />
<label>Password</label><br />
<input type="password" name="password"><br />
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login">
</form>
