If Require Authentication is enabled when creating a Server App, the user must log in to FME Server before accessing the app.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. It depends on the user's role

Answer: (A)

Requiring authentication gates access behind a login to FME Server. When this option is enabled for a Server App, the server prompts the user to sign in before any part of the app can be reached, and only after a successful login can the app be used. The login step is handled by FME Server’s authentication system, which may be internal or integrated with external providers, but the key point is that authentication is mandatory before access. Roles determine what a user is allowed to do after logging in, not whether they must log in in the first place. Therefore, this behavior does not depend on the user’s role, and statements suggesting it’s optional or determined by role are not correct.
