Configuring Spotfire Server for GSSAPI authentication of LDAP
These instructions apply for Active Directory LDAP configurations. Spotfire Server does not support GSSAPI for other LDAP configurations.
Before you begin
- Make sure that you have a fully working Active Directory LDAP configuration using clear-text password authentication (also known as simple authentication mechanism).
- Save this fully working Active Directory LDAP configuration to file.
- Make a note of the LDAP configuration's ID.
- Make sure that you have a fully working krb5.conf file. The content of the krb5.conf file must be the same as when setting up
Spotfire Server for Kerberos authentication. See
Configuring Kerberos for Java.
Note: Make sure to stop the entire service/Java process before installing the file. If the krb5.conf file is modified after Spotfire Server has been started, you must restart the Spotfire Server process for the modifications to take effect.
Procedure
What to do next
Procedure steps related to LDAP configurations must be performed for each LDAP catalogue that you want to enable for GSSAPI. For multiple LDAP configurations, repeat these steps for each configuration.
