Web authentication
When using web authentication, a web browser will be displayed for all users, allowing them to log in to Spotfire using an external authentication provider, such as Google.
By default, the web authentication method supports authentication providers with OpenID Connect support, such as Google. The supported authentication providers can be expanded using the Custom Web Authenticator API. If you configure and enable several authentication providers, users will be allowed to select any of these providers. Users can select to remember the chosen provider, thereby enabling single sign-on, as long as they are logged in on that account.
Web authentication can be combined with username and password authentication.
