Creating a Kerberos service account
Creating a Kerberos service account is the first step in configuring Spotfire Server for the Kerberos authentication method.
Before you begin
- Windows Domain Controllers running Windows Server 2008 or later.
- A computer with the Microsoft Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in.
- A computer with the Microsoft Support Tools installed.
- A domain administrator account or a user account which is a member of the built-in Account Operators domain group, or any account with equivalent permissions.
- Windows Domain accounts for all Spotfire users.
- A fully-working user directory, with either of the following options:
- LDAP (recommended)
- Spotfire database, provided that the built-in post-authentication filter is auto‐creating new users.
