Connecting to TDV Server and Starting Studio

To log into TDV Server, you should:

• Obtain a valid username and password from your TDV administrator
• Know the name of the domain (composite or LDAP) to which you belong
• Know the name of the machine or the IP address where TDV Server is installed

For details on installing the software, see the TDV Installation and Upgrade Guide.

This guide provides default values for the tutorial resources and sample data that can be installed with TDV.

To start Studio and log into TDV Server

1. Select the Studio option.

Start > All Programs > TIBCO > TDV <version> > Studio > Start Studio <version>.

 

2. Type or select the following sign-in information.

Field

Tutorial Values

Description

Username

admin (default)

Username.

Password

admin

Password associated with your username.

Domain

composite (default)

Your domain from the drop-down list. This entry is used for authentication to connect to the server.

Server

localhost (default)

The host machine for the server in the Server drop-down list.

Use the default if Studio and the server are running on the same machine. If not, enter the IP address or the hostname of the machine where the server is installed.

Port

9400 (default)

Specify the HTTP base port number through which you can connect to the server.

Change the default value (or current value) if necessary.

Encrypt

unchecked

To connect to the server securely using SSL through HTTPS, check the Encrypt check box; otherwise HTTP clear text is used.

If Kerberos Single Sign-On has been enabled for your network the SSO check box appears and you can check it to use your Windows sign-in to connect with the TDV Server. Otherwise, proceed to sign in using username and password authentication.

If an OAuth 2.0 domain has been set up in Web Manager and access tools privileges given, then you can login to TDV Studio by choosing the domain name from the drop down or by entering the name in the Domain field. You will not need to provide username and password while using the OAuth 2.0 domain.

Notes:

• You need to be actively logged into your IDP account, before attempting to login to any of the TDV client tools using the OAuth2 domain. If not, you will be redirected to your IDP login page. Once logged in, click on the Oauth2 domain in TDV Studio, Web Manager or Web UI to successfully login to the TDV client.
• In order to allow access to Studio, the TDV Studio url must be added to the Redirect URIs list in your Identity Provider. Using the following hostname based url is the preferred method: 
http://xyz.com/oauth2studiocallback
https://xyz.com/oauth2studiocallback

You may also add an IP based or localhost based url in the Redirect URI list as given below:

http://1.1.1.1:9400/oauth2studiocallback
https://1.1.1.1:9402/oauth2studiocallback
http://localhost:9400/oauth2studiocallback
https://localhost:9402/oauth2studiocallback

However, it is important to note that this is not a preferred approach as:

— localhost references are not host specific.
— IP addresses will not work in deployment environments where server IP addresses are not statically assigned (For example, in the cloud deployments).
3. Click Connect.

If the log-in credentials are validated successfully, you connect to TDV Server, and Studio opens for your modeling.

When the TDV Server is set to accept HTTPS secure mode communications only, a sign-in attempted without the Encrypt check box results in a refused connection. The sign-in errors look similar to the following:

Failed to connect to http://localhost:9400/cdms/webapi; nested exception is:java.ami RemoteException: HTTP transport error. java.net.ConnectException...

Dismiss this error and use the Encrypt check box to sign in securely.
