LDAP properties

You can use LDAP to authenticate users for Spotfire Statistics Services. The LDAP configuration properties are contained in the file ldap.properties. Set these properties if you intend to use LDAP to authenticate users.

Note: The file ldap.properties also contains the properties used for Active Directory and LDAP authentication. If you intend to use LDAP rather than Active Directory, be sure to set activeDirectory.enabled to false and ldap.enabled to true.
  • In a cluster, the properties files (such as ldap.properties) are stored in the conf directory under SPSERVER_SHARE.
  • In a standalone installation, the properties files are stored in the conf directory under SPSERVER_HOME.
Note: Spotfire Statistics Services implements LDAP authentication. LDAP authorization is not implemented at this time.
