Spectrus Processor: How to connect to Waters UNIFI using “Connect To”

Description
The Connect To function for Waters UNIFI requires authentication and server details. The connection is made through the UNIFI web API, not directly to the database, which addresses concerns about direct database access.

Solution

1. Obtain the required connection details from your UNIFI system administrator:
   • Username and Password for UNIFI.
   • Base URL / URI of the UNIFI server installation.
   • Scope (UNIFI API scope string).
   • Client ID and Client Secret for the API client.
   • URI of the UNIFI Identity Server (authentication endpoint).
2. In Spectrus Processor, from the File menu, open the Connect To UNIFI dialog.
3. Enter the fields exactly as provided by the UNIFI administrator:
   • Base URL (UNIFI server)
   • Identity server URI
   • Scope
   • Client ID and Client Secret
   • User credentials
4. Confirm to connect:
   • The application uses the UNIFI web API, passing through Waters components.
   • There is no direct connection to the UNIFI database; all data access is mediated by the UNIFI web services.
5. If connection fails:
   • Verify that all URLs are reachable from the client machine.
   • Check that the user account has appropriate permissions in UNIFI.
   • Confirm that the Client ID/Secret and Scope are correctly configured in UNIFI's administration tools.
