Configuring organization authentication
As an administrator, you can choose the authentication and related security settings for your organization. Some settings are inherited from the host level, but you can override them if different settings should apply for your organization.
Basic authentication refers to signing in with the username and password of a local account.
If basic authentication is restricted, your users can only log in with their directory account, as defined in the external identity provider. Otherwise, users can log in with both their local accounts, if any, and their directory accounts.
When set at the organization level, the setting applies to all accounts in the organization.
For exceptions, basic authentication can also be set at the account level where you want this setting to apply differently.
To allow or restrict basic authentication for your organization:
-
Log in to the organization-level Management portal at
https://<server>/identity/management
as an administrator. - Go to Security Settings.
- Under Sign-in options for local users, turn on the Basic sign-in toggle to allow sign in using basic authentication:
- Click Save to apply your changes.
