Using Kerberos to log in to the Spotfire database
To increase security in your Spotfire implementation, you may want to set up Spotfire Server to authenticate with the Spotfire database using the Kerberos protocol.
Prerequisites
- Windows Domain Controllers running Windows Server 2008 or later.
- A computer with the Microsoft Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in.
- A computer with the Microsoft Support Tools installed.
- A domain administrator account or a user account which is a member of the built-in Account Operators domain group, or any account with equivalent permissions.
- The database server must already be installed and configured for both Kerberos authentication and user name/password authentication.
- Microsoft Active Directory is used as Kerberos environment.
- If the database is an Oracle database, then download Oracle's latest JDBC driver (ojdbc7.jar) from Oracle's web page.
- If the database is a Microsoft SQL Server database, use the bundled Microsoft JDBC driver (sqljdbc4.jar). Version 4.0 of the sqljdc4.jar driver introduced the new authenticationScheme=JavaKerberos directive, which is required.
