Spotfire for iOS All

Description

Beginning with iOS 10, customers will no longer be able to use Kerberos with RC4 encryption when the Spotfire Library is configured to use SSL (https). They will need to move to AES-128/256 or another encryption method.  Kerberos will also be restricted to constrained delegation only - unconstrained delegation will no longer be supported.
