Description

Spotfire Statistica Web Data Entry (a.k.a. Data Entry) can be configtured to use Okta (or another OpenID provider) for electronic sigature when completing a sample.  

Environment

OS:  Windows

Resolution

See https://support.tibco.com/support-home/kbsearch/article?articleNumber=KB0138598 for reference.  Typically external authentication to login to the data entry application is configured first.  Electronic Signature requires its own OIDC application and External Authentication configuration in Enterprise Manager.  

 

First Create the OIDC Web Application in Okta
