Setting Up Domain/Integrated Domain Authentication on Java Web Server

This article helps to set up domain/integrated domain authentication in the web application deployed on Java (Apache Tomcat) web server. 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 the web application. Depending on the selected authentication method in the PP.xml file (the file is in the folder C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\<web application>\config\) in the metabase tag add the authentication attribute with the following values:

  1. Restart Apache Tomcat.

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