You may have to change the authentication mode for some connectors so that they are available for use with Spotfire web clients. This is done in the Spotfire.Dxp.Worker.Host.exe.config file.

To change the authentication mode for a connector on a Spotfire Web Player service, you must modify an existing configuration or create a new configuration and assign it to the deployment area on which the Spotfire.Dxp.sdn distribution file has been deployed. Instructions are available in Preconfiguring Spotfire Web Player services (optional), but details specific to the connectors are listed here.

• The authentication mode settings are located in the section <Spotfire.Dxp.Data.Access.Adapters.Settings>. To edit the configuration file, you must first export it from Spotfire Server using the export-service-config command. For instructions, see Preconfiguring Spotfire Web Player services (optional).
• These are the available authentication modes:
  • Prompt
  • ServiceAccount
  • Kerberos
  • WebConfig
  By default, all the connectors use the Prompt mode. To read more about the settings, see Configuration file examples.
• If you are unsure of what a certain connector is called in the configuration file, see Connector names in configuration file.
