I had already installed the "Web Server Installation" from the optigold
installer when I ran into this problem. That's kind of what prompted
the question below about which Web Security setup was correct. At this
time I still have the web security file from the installer installed and
it still requests 2 logins.

Let me retrace my steps:

1. created a webserver account and set it's automation type to 'web server'
2. installed the web server installation from optigold installer
(MacOSX client)
3. logged in as webserver user (MacOSX client)
4. attempted to hit the box from a couple different systems with
different browsers (IE, Firebird)
5. depending on the browser I will get a error about not having privs
to "find" or "find all" as either a dialog or on the page itself.

I just remembered that I had a problem pointing to the Web Security.fp5
file from optigold. When I clicked on the setup button in the Web
Server Setup screen to choose the Web Security file I could choose the
file but it won't appear in the text field below that button. However,
when I upgraded to FMP 6.0 and logged in as the web user it stopped
asking for the location of the Web Security file. I checked the setup
screen and the field is still blank. I've come to the conclusion that
either optigold found it in a default location or it's not using it.
