Description
It is possible to only have specific user(s) from one/different LDAP group to login to Spotfire.
By default in the Spotfire Server configuration when you specify an "LDAP context Name", all the users within that context are pulled into the Spotfire database and the users have access to Spotfire. The Spotfire Configuration UI does allow you to add an LDAP context, but not a specific user context.
E.G: If you have an LDAP context where only one/few user(s) should be able to get into Spotfire. You can specify the user Context name rather than having the entire OU / LDAP context name.
