Installing and Setting Up Security Server

Security server ensures platform information security by executing functions of administration and handling requests between databases and Foresight Analytics Platform.

Principles of Security Server Work

Foresight Analytics Platform desktop application connects via web service to the security server and passes identifier of the required repository set up in the security server. Then all requests from Foresight Analytics Platform desktop application to database pass via the security server that forms database requests. On using the web application the BI server used as a business logic core is added to configuration.

As all work with requests to DBMS is executed at the security server, it is not necessary to install database client application to the client computers.

The end user will not see the difference between the use of security server and working directly with database.
