Anaconda Desktop Integration

Anaconda Desktop can be configured to authenticate users through your organization’s self-hosted Anaconda Platform instance by deploying a configuration file to each user’s machine. Once connected, the model governance policies defined for your organization automatically apply to Anaconda Desktop.

Prerequisites

Users must have Anaconda Desktop installed on their machine.

Configuration file creation

Create a file named sign-in-policy.json and add the following lines:

sign-in-policy.json

{
    "anacondaDomain": "https://<FQDN>"
}

Configuration file storage

The configuration file must be stored in the following location:

You will need to create the AnacondaDesktop directory if it does not already exist.

Windows

%PROGRAMDATA%\AnacondaDesktop\sign-in-policy.json

macOS

/Library/Application Support/AnacondaDesktop/sign-in-policy.json

Configuration file deployment

Configuration file deployment varies depending on how your organization manages devices.

• Manual deployment: Users with administrator privileges on their machines can be instructed to create the file in the required storage location for themselves.

• Managed deployment: Organizational device management tools (such as Group Policy, MDM solutions, or other configuration management platforms) can be used to deploy the file across multiple machines.

Once deployed, the configuration file directs Anaconda Desktop to use your organization’s self-hosted Anaconda Platform instance for user authentication.
