Specifying authentication through Spotfire Business Author

The file MyConfiguration.plist 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.

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 by editing the file MyConfiguration.plist in the copy of the DeploymentKitApp in Xcode on your computer.
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 MyConfiguration.plist by editing key and value pairs in the Property List view in XCode. 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.

Procedure

  1. In the file MyConfiguration.plist, in the Property List view, find the key labelled DisableLoginPrompting.
    Key Type Value
    DisableLoginPrompting Boolean NO
  2. Change the value from NO to YES.
    Note: In the Source Code view, this section appears as follows. 
    <key>DisableLoginPrompting</key>
    <true/>
    Key Type Value
    DisableLoginPrompting Boolean YES

Result

Users are not prompted for login from the app; rather they can now log in through a Spotfire Business Author authentication service.
