Configuring NTLM for a cluster of Spotfire Servers

To configure NTLM for clustered servers, first set the options common to all the servers and then set the server-specific options.

About this task

For general information about Spotfire Server clusters, see Clustered server deployments.

Note: The NTLM authentication method is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use Kerberos without delegation (delegation policy 'NEVER') or some other authentication method, such as OpenID Connect instead.

Procedure

Configure the options common to all servers in the cluster. This is performed according to the instructions in Configuring NTLM authentication for a single server, with the following modifications:
- Specify the DNS domain name (recommended) or a domain controller (not recommended), and possibly also an AD site name.
  Important: Do not specify the server, account name, or password options at this point.
Run the config‐ntlm‐auth command to add the account information for each Spotfire Server in the cluster:
- Run the command once for each server in the cluster.
- Enter the server, account name, and password options. The server option must reflect the server name as defined in the server's bootstrap.xml file.
