Setting Up Domain/Integrated Domain Authentication on Working with Apache Tomcat

This article helps to set up domain/integrated domain authentication in the web application based on Apache Tomcat. Before setting up the web application add domain users in the desktop application security manager and grant them necessary access permissions.

To set up authentication in Foresight Analytics Platform web application, follow the steps:

1. Install BI server, Apache Tomcat and web application.

2. Make sure that Apache Tomcat is executed as a service. To do this, open the control panel, go to the Administrative Tools > Services section and check if the Apache Tomcat 7.0 Tomcat7 service is running.

3. Set up web application. Depending on the authentication type selected in the PP.xml file (the file is located at: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\<web application>\config\), add the "authentication" attribute with following values in the "metabase" tag:

• For domain authentication: authentication=”Domain”.

• For integrated domain authentication: authentication=”IntegratedDomain”.

4. Restart Apache Tomcat.

5. Set the selected authentication type in repository connection settings.

6. Check web application performance.
