These instructions are for configuring custom web authentication using the configuration tool.
Prerequisites
You have implemented the CustomWebAuthenticator API.
If applicable, you have registered a client at the provider, using a return endpoint URL, and have received a client ID and a client secret from the provider. Use the URL:
In the configuration tool, select the
Configuration tab.
On the
Configuration Start page, select the authentication method
Web authentication.
Note: If, for example for backward compatibility with older
Spotfire clients, you want to combine web authentication with username and password authentication, select the
BASIC authentication method. This way, the launched web browser will have both a username and password alternative, and the alternative to use an external web authentication provider.
On the
Custom Web Authentication page, select
Yes to enable custom web authentication.
Specify the
Authenticator class - the class implementing the CustomWebAuthenticator API interface.
Add any
Initialization parameters relevant to your custom web authentication implementation.
Save the configuration and restart the
Spotfire Server.
