Active Directory properties

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

Note: The file ldap.properties also contains the properties used for both Active Directory and LDAP authentication. If you intend to use Active Directory rather than LDAP, be sure to set activeDirectory.enabled to true and ldap.enabled to false.
  • 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.
  • activeDirectory.enabled
    The property activeDirectory.enabled indicates whether Spotfire Statistics Services uses Active Directory to authenticate users.
  • ldap.domain
    The property ldap.domain identifies the domain within which to search for Active Directory users.
  • ldap.host
    The property ldap.host identifies the host name of the Active Directory server or the LDAP server.
