The Spotfire Analytics Server is designed to be completely integrated into your existing IT infrastructure. In most cases this can be done through simple configuration alone. For more complex environments the Spotfire Analytics Server Developer provides an API for automation and extension.
Automation
- User Directory
The User Directory API is used for listing and modifying users
and groups in Analytics Server.
Extension
The Spotfire Analytics Server's Service Provider Interface (SPI)
can be used to extend the server's functionality through custom
plug-ins.
- User Directory (Deprecation pending)
The User Directory SPI is used for connecting the Spotfire Analytics
Server to your own service provider supplying user and group
information.
- Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS)
The JAAS SPI is used for creating a custom authentication module
based on the JAAS standard for authenticating clients
by validating usernames and passwords.
- Authenticator
The Authenticator SPI is used for creating a custom non-JAAS
compliant authentication module, responsible for authenticating
users through the Spotfire Analytics Server.
- JDBC
The JDBC SPI is used to configure Information Services for a
specific JDBC driver. In most cases it will suffice to configure
the default implementation with the settings specific to the
driver.
- Data Source Authentication
The Data Source Authentication SPI is used to automatically
authenticate users against Information Services data sources
(databases)when executing the actual query. This SPI makes it
possible to write a plugin that supplies the data source credentials
for the different users without prompting the end user for credentials.
