When connecting to my database, I'm required to login once to see the files on the server, then again to open the file on the server. Is there a way around this double login?

I still don't understand the benefit of having a FileMaker shortcut instead of a simple URI shortcut with a fmp:// scheme.
It would be so great if we could add a file to favorites during the installation and by script step.

Avoiding this issue for my users is the main reason I created a small "launcher" database for them. They don't need to log in to the server at all as the launcher already knows the URIs for the servers and databases they need. They have a desktop icon to open the launcher in FileMaker. (The ONLY problem that has arisen since then is one user asking, "I don't understand about signing in to Google." Well, you have to authenticate somewhere. The launcher even tries to close the browser window after signing in successfully.)

Hi Linda,
The double login can be disabled on demand, but quite frankly, it's a very efficient way of 'obscuring' your databases.
You can easily add your database to your FileMaker Pro/FileMaker Go favorites to avoid having to go through the 'Hosts' dialog.
On Web Direct, you can go directly to your app by using the URL: https://<yourserver>.fmcloud.fm/fmi/webd/<databasename>
