Logging In

There are two options for logging in to the Spotfire Metrics Modeler.

You can log in to the Spotfire Metrics Modeler with either an administrator account or an LDAP account. The following table shows account information you should be aware of.
Administrator Account LDAP Account
  • The administrator account is the single account that is created during the installation of Spotfire Metrics.
  • The administrator account can be used to log in to Spotfire Metrics without any LDAP dependencies.
  • The administrator account is designed for first-time use and for troubleshooting issues with LDAP.
  • Only one administrator account can be created during installation.
  • The administrator account password cannot be changed.
  • LDAP accounts are for the main users of Spotfire Metrics.
  • A one-time manual setup of LDAP is required before any LDAP users can authenticate. Go here for instructions on Enabling LDAP over SSL.
  • All LDAP users must use their fully qualified user name to log in. (For example, user1 of the domain ACME would use ACME\user1.)
  • For LDAP implementations that are not Active Directory based, follow the requirements of your system administrator.
