Installing ActiveSpaces

To use ActiveSpaces to secure the connections between clustered servers, ActiveSpaces 2.2.1 must be installed and configured on each Spotfire Server in the cluster. (ActiveSpaces is a separate product that is available free-of-charge to purchasers of Spotfire Server.) After installation, you reconfigure the servers to use ActiveSpaces as the underlying data grid.

For general information about Spotfire Server clusters, see Clustered server deployments.
