2. Open the configuration tool by running the uiconfig.bat file located at <installation dir>\tomcat\spotfire-bin for TIBCO Spotfire Server 10.3.0 and higher or <installation dir>\tomcat\bin directory for TIBCO Spotfire Server Versions 7.11.0, 7.12.0, 7.13.0 and 7.14.0.

3. Go to "Configuration" tab, select "Authentication" page and select "Basic LDAP" authentication. Similarly, to use "Basic Database" select authentication method as "Basic Database".
