Description

If it is not possible for Spotfire to find the needed domain name information to correctly handle LDAP authentication and user directory, then you can manually add domain name mappings to the Spotfire server configuration.

 

Resolution

Instructions:
1). Export the current configuration from the Spotfire server (See KB 42941).
2). Open the exported configuration file in a text editor and search for <domain-names/>.
3). Replace <domain-names/> with <domain-names> </domain-names> (See below).
4). Add key-value pairs for all existing domains in between the <domain-names> </domain-names> (See below).
5). Import the configuration to the Spotfire database (See KB 42942).
6). Restart the Spotfire server service.
 
Example:    
<domain-names>
      <name>
        <key>DC=domain,DC=com</key>
        <value>domain.com</value>
      </name>
      <name>
        <key>DC=emea,DC=domain,DC=com</key>
        <value>emea.domain.com</value>
      </name>
      <name>
        <key>DC=nala,DC=domain,DC=com</key>
        <value>nala.domain.com</value>
      </name>
    </domain-names>
