While not a frequent activity, it is convenient to build and deploy an SDK package to the server. This no longer works with 11.x and external auth.
Previously we could connect to the TSS directly and use LDAP credentials even though we also had an external SSO Auth process for end users.
This has been broken since some undocumented client-auth change with 11.x client server access.
Build and deployment of SDKs and SPKs can be automated with a script that calls the Package Builder console for to build the package and server CLI command (https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire_server/11.3.0/doc/html/TIB_sfire_server_tsas_admin_help/server/topics/update-deployment.html) for the deployment.
