Configuring access to cloud data sources

If you want to use data from cloud data sources, such as Azure SQL or Amazon Redshift, in Spotfire Cloud Business Author, certain configurations might be required in the data source. Setting up the proper access rules is often a task for the data source administrator.

To protect your data, cloud-based, internet-facing data sources can be configured to allow or deny access from certain applications or computers. One of the ways to define access rules is to use IP addresses to identify what traffic should be allowed, a process often referred to as whitelisting. To access and query a data source with IP restrictions from Spotfire Cloud Business Author, you might have to configure whitelisting in the data source, allowing the IP addresses used by the Spotfire client.

Note: The following information is only applicable for Spotfire Cloud Business Author, which is run on cloud servers administered by TIBCO. For installed clients, such as Spotfire Cloud Analyst, or on-premise web clients that run on your company's own servers, the IP addresses used depend on your equipment and configuration.
To make sure that you can access the data source from Spotfire Cloud Business Author, the following IP addresses should be whitelisted in the data source:
50.16.49.111
52.55.222.185
