With 3.1, the Spotfire Server adds a new web browser-based Administration Console. This tool is used to manage users and groups (unless users and groups are handled by an external mechanism such as an LDAP server), and to deploy Spotfire packages.
It can be reached by a standard web browser using the URL http://spotfireserver/spotfire/administration/, where spotfireserver is the hostname of one of your Spotfire Servers. If you are not running Spotfire Server on the standard port 80, you must also add the port number in the URL: http://spotfireserver:8080/spotfire/administration/. When prompted for a user name and password, use a Spotfire user who is assigned the Spotfire Administrator license. It does not matter which server in the cluster you use, changes made to one server will be stored in the Spotfire database and available to all servers.
The Administration Manager is still available through Spotfire Professional in order to manage users, groups, licenses and preferences but Spotfire package deployments are no longer managed there, they can only be managed through the web-based Administration Console. In this release, licenses and preferences can only be managed through Professional.
Below is a screenshot of the new web-based deployment mechanism:
