  10. Choose whether you wish to enable Guest&Secured or Secured Only access for Spectrum Spatial Analyst application.
    1. Guest&Secured- In Guest&Secured mode Analyst will use the credentials of the guest user that you have provided in Guest User name and Guest Password text boxes. It will allow anyone to see data which that user’s role can read without logging in. You need to create this role in Spectrum as AnalystGuestRole by using Spectrum Management Console.
    2. Secured Only- Secured Only mode requires login. Secured users can subsequently click sign-in to see secured data.
    Note: You can enable Guest User manually after Analyst is installed. For more information, refer to Spectrum Spatial Guide.

  17. Specify the Port configuration and Max memory settings. The default values for Analyst Locate and Analyst Connect are provided.
    Note: Please ensure that the chosen connector ports above are not used on your server prior to installation. Also note that the Analyst installer will use 3 additional ports for the Tomcat shutdown, Redirect and AJP ports. The Shutdown port will always be the chosen port plus 1 for shutdown, plus 2 for Redirect and plus 3 for AJP (hence in the case of 8010, all 4 ports 8010, 8011, 8012 and 8013 are used).

    You can edit Max Memory settings later by navigating to the Tomcat installation folder from command prompt and running the following command:

    tomcat9w.exe//ES//<service_name>

    Where <service_name> can be any one of the following:

    • AnalystConnect

    • AnalystLocate
