Editing run.properties to disable SSO

If you cannot sign on to the PingAccess administrative console, but you can start the PingAccess server or the administrative node in a cluster, you can edit the run.properties file to disable single sign-on (SSO).

About this task

If you are locked out of the administrative console because of an SSO misconfiguration, switching to basic (native) authentication makes it easier to sign on and reconfigure SSO.

Steps

  1. Start the local PingAccess server.

    Learn more in Starting PingAccess.

  2. Open the run.properties file for editing.

  3. Change the admin.auth value from default to native.

    Example:

    admin.auth=native

  4. Save your changes and restart PingAccess.

Result

You can sign on to the administrative console normally.
