Anaconda Desktop is currently available through a limited early access program. Contact your Anaconda Technical Account Manager (TAM) if you’re interested in using Anaconda Desktop with Anaconda Platform 7.0.0.
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>"
}
Replace <FQDN> with your Anaconda Platform fully qualified domain name.

​
Configuration file storage

The configuration file must be stored in the following location:
  • Windows
  • macOS
%PROGRAMDATA%\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.
