TIBCO Spotfire Server 3.2.2 - TIBCO Product Documentation

Authentication and User Directory
can choose to configure all settings on each server, or to configure the settings that
apply to the entire cluster in the Configuration Console and only the settings unique to
each server on the actual server. Which of these options you select can depend on
many factors in your Spotfire system and Windows Domain.
The settings that need to be unique for each server are how the Spotfire Server
authenticates with the Windows Domain. This can be achieved either by creating and
specifying different Service accounts, or by using the Service accounts for all servers,
but using different NETBIOS names for this account. For most situations, it is
recommended to use different Service accounts.
If you choose to configure some settings in the Configuration Console and some on
each server, simply leave the settings that you will set on each Spotfire Server blank in
the Configuration Console.
On the same tab where you enabled NTLM, there are a number of settings that you
need to specify.
DNS domain
Resolve DNS domain
Service account name
Service password
AD site
Specifies the DNS domain name of your Windows
Domain.
Example: yourorganization.com.
Note: If for some reason you cannot specify a domain
here, you can specify a hostname of a Domain
Controller instead. If you do this, set Resolve DNS
domain to No.
Specifies whether the name specified in DNS domain
should be considered a domain name or a hostname.
Specifies the username of the prepared computer
service account set up to perform NTLM
authentication.
Example: spotfiresrv$@yourorganization.com
Note: The local part of the account name (spotfiresrv)
in the example above, must not exceed 15 characters.
Also note the dollar-sign ($) after the local part of the
name.
Specifies the password of the prepared computer
service account set up to perform NTLM
authentication. This password will be stored encrypted
in the Spotfire Database.
Specifies the Active Directory Site where the Spotfire
system is located. This setting is optional, but can
potentially increase performance.
Example: organization-got
