Upgrading authentication method
Spotfire Server is now used for all authentication.
In the old architecture, you set up authentication on the Spotfire Server for Spotfire Analyst users and on the Spotfire Web Player server for Spotfire web client users. In the new architecture you set up the authentication for all users on the Spotfire Server.
This means that the same authentication method is used for Spotfire Analyst users and Spotfire web client users.
For information on how to set up the authentication method on Spotfire Server, see User authentication.
There are, however, some special cases where different authentication methods have been used. See Anonymous combined with other authentication method and Different authentication methods for Spotfire Server and Web Player.
- Anonymous combined with other authentication method
Anonymous authentication can be combined with another authentication method on the same Spotfire Server. - Different authentication methods for Spotfire Server and Web Player
It is no longer supported to use different authentication methods for the Spotfire Server and the Spotfire Web Player.
