    Advanced Administration Procedures

    Our community is constantly contributing with many articles on advanced administration tasks. Here you have some of the most relevant ones:

    Security

    • Spotfire Server and Authentication Supported
    • External Authentication in Spotfire - Many customers want to embed Spotfire Web Player into a portal or other web application and secure access by passing authentication information from the portal to Spotfire. Customers also have internal Web application security standards that require Single-Sign-On to all web applications which would include Spotfire Web Player. Spotfire supports these scenarios via custom and external authentication. With Spotfire 7.5, the architecture has changed such that the support for these scenarios has moved from the Spotfire Web Player to the Spotfire Server.
    • Configuring Anonymous Access to Analysis Files in Spotfire - Many customers want to embed Spotfire Web Player into a portal or other web application and have these analysis files available to users who are not authenticated. In Spotfire 7.5, since the Spotfire Server is handling all client requests and authentication, there is a set of options that allow anonymous access to certain analysis files within the Spotfire Library.
    • Spotfire Server Disaster Recovery Options - Discuss various options for handling disaster recovery in a Spotfire environment.

    Logging

    Performance and Diagnostics

    • Spotfire Application Profiler Information - The Spotfire Application Profiler is a diagnostic tool that is available in the Spotfire Analyst client given the appropriate access. The Application Profiler is a diagnostic utility that allows a Spotfire administrator or a superuser to scan the Spotfire Library and acquire an overview of all the analysis files. It can be run manually or from the command line. Please see the referenced article and Spotfire Application Profiler Tech Note (download from Resources below) for details.
    • Spotfire Server Tomcat Network Settings to Improve WAN Performance - Provides some settings that can be helpful to Spotfire Analyst users when the Analyst clients are some distance away on the network from the Spotfire Server.
