Spotfire Server not accessible when using Integrated Authentication with Spotfire Database

All supported environments Spotfire Database: MS SQL Server

This issue can be seen if the Spotfire server service is running through a Windows domain account that does not have permission to use the Spotfire database.  When using the Windows Integrated Authentication, the account running the Spotfire Server service needs to have database owner access to the Spotfire database.

Note: When the database server is set up for Windows Integrated Authentication, the bootstrap will always use the account running the Spotfire Server service.

Refer to the Spotfire Server Installation & Configuration manual for additional information
