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.

Note: Impersonation is no longer applicable for single sign-on authentication methods because users now authenticate towards Spotfire Server directly.
Note: If you used custom authentication on the Spotfire Web Player server, see External 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.
