  ServicePrincipalName Parameter    This parameter is optional.
  Specifies the service principal name (SPN) when using Integrated
  Login with TM1 Web and constrained delegation.    Use the
  following format to add the parameter to the Tm1s.cfg file:
  ServicePrincipalName=SPN    The value you set here must match
  the service name that has also been mapped to a domain account
  on the Active Directory domain controller using the Microsoft
  command-line tool, setspn.exe.    For example, if you use
  setspn.exe to add an SPN as follows:  setspn -a FPM/TM1
  WbSvr_Account    then you need to set the ServicePrincipalName
  parameter like this:  ServicePrincipalName=FPM/TM1    For more
  information about constrained delegation and SPN configuration,
  search the Microsoft Web site for the topic "Kerberos Technical
  Supplement for Windows".
