Configure custom authentication

  1. In the management console, click Settings > Application.
  2. Select the Custom Authentication checkbox.
    Configuration options display.
  3. Select the options you want to use for authentication:
    • Strong authentication — Select this option to provide multi-factor authentication access.
    • Single sign-on — Select this option to provide single sign-on (SSO) access. Selecting strong authentication or SSO does not affect the custom authentication settings, because all configuration settings are handled by the identity provider (IdP).
    • Allow password login — Selecting this option allows you to login to the console directly and using SSO. This allows you to test your SSO settings without being locked out of the console. After you have successfully logged into the console using SSO, it is recommended that you disable this feature.
    • Provider — Select the service provider for the custom authentication.
    • X.509 certificate — Enter the X.509 certification information.
    • Login URL — Enter the URL for the custom authentication.
  4. Click Save.
