After you have checked the Web Services Settings in the Database Properties, it is usually a good idea also to check out the On Web Authentication database method. It's as good a starting point as any to see how the application is structured.

In this case, there isn't very much going on in the On Web Authentication method. In fact, all it says is "I approve." Of everything. Obviously, this isn't a very high-security web site.

Next, you will want to check out the On Web Connection method.

By glancing at the Preview pane (on the right), you can see that there isn't any On Web Connection method for this application. This tells you a couple of things. 1) The request for the "root" document will be handled by the Web Services settings of Database Properties, and 2) This application will not work with the /4DCGI/ special keyword. This is because all calls made to /4DCGI/ are handled by the On Web Connection method. For information on /4DCGI, click here.

This database instead uses /4DACTION and /4DSCRIPT. When using these entry points it is important to remember that you must turn on the Available through 4DACTION permission for each method accessed through /4DACTION or /4DSCRIPT.

Note that we turned on the Available through 4DACTION permission only on those methods actually called by /4DACTION or /4DSCRIPT. All other methods are secure from unwanted intrusions.
