Authentication

Before using the Global Type Ahead Java Script Component, you must configure authentication for web service requests to the Spectrum Technology Platform server. For more information on the Spectrum Technology Platform authentication processing, refer to your Spectrum Technology Platform Web Services Guide.

To configure the Global Type Ahead Java Script Component authentication properties, follow these steps:

Edit the spectrum-container.properties file in the Spectrum/app/conf folder.
1. For REST, in the spectrum-container.properties file, set the value for the spectrum.security.authentication.webservice.enabled.REST property as needed. For example, set spectrum.security.authentication.webservice.enabled.REST=true to enable authentication for all REST services.
  Setting the value to FALSE removes any authentication requirements from Spectrum Technology Platform (not recommended). It is recommended that the values of both SOAP and REST be kept in sync.
2. For SOAP, in the spectrum-container.properties file, set the value for the spectrum.security.authentication.webservice.enabled.SOAP property as needed. For example, set spectrum.security.authentication.webservice.enabled.SOAP=true to enable authentication for all SOAP services.
  Setting the value to FALSE removes any authentication requirements from Spectrum Technology Platform (not recommended). It is recommended that the values of both SOAP and REST be kept in sync.
Enable CORS authentication. In the spectrum.properties file, add “, Authorization” to the end of the spectrum.jetty.cors.allowedHeaders option. For example:
```
spectrum.jetty.cors.allowedHeaders=X-PINGOTHER, Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization
```
