Specifying authentication through Spotfire Business Author

DeploymentKitApp > MyConfiguration contains settings for specifying whether to use the login service. You can disable the login service for users who are logged in through a Spotfire Business Author.

About this task

If you are using a server that does not have a login service configured, or if you want users authenticated through a Spotfire Business Author login, set this option. Perform this task in the copy of the DeploymentKitApp in Xcode on your computer. In Xcode Project navigator, browse to and open DeploymentKitApp > MyConfiguration.

Note: An error reporting a user authentication failure is the most likely symptom indicating that this option should be set.

Note: You can customize most settings in Xcode, in DeploymentKitApp > MyConfiguration. Edit the key and value pairs in the Property List view. Optionally, you can edit the XML directly in the Source Code view. To work in the XML view, right click the file name, and then click Open As > Source Code.
