Kerberos authentication may fail after upgrading to Spotfire 10.3

Kerberos authentication may fail after upgrading to Spotfire 10.3

After these paths have been updated, save the configuration file to the Spotfire Database and then restart the Spotfire Server service. 

Here is an example of the modified configuration, using the default Spotfire Server installation path:
