Spotfire® Server and Environment Security

HTTPS (TLS over HTTP) for Front End Port

The file <spotfire server installation>/tomcat/conf/server.xml contains the TLS configuration for the HTTPS.

In this version of Spotfire, the server.xml file is aligned with Mozilla's Modern Compatibility configuration. The ciphers and protocols in the configuration file can be adjusted to accommodate for environment specific needs.

 <Connector port="443"
              [...]
               SSLEnabled="true"
               scheme="https"
               secure="true">
      <SSLHostConfig certificateVerification="none"
                    [...]
                     sslProtocol="TLS"
                     protocols="TLSv1.2+TLSv1.3"
                     honorCipherOrder="true"
                     ciphers="<cipher-suites>"
                     [...]
      </SSLHostConfig>
    </Connector>
