How to disable the login screen for Orchestrator

Technical Overview

Currently it is not possible to disable the login screen altogether. However, it is possible to disable Basic Authentication and to bypass the login screen using Windows AD.

 

Disabling Basic Authentication

Add the followings keys to the web.config.

<add key="Auth.DisableBasicAuthentication" value="true"/>

<add key="Auth.EnableBasicAuthenticationForHostTenant" value="true"/>

 

The first key disables Basic Authentication and the second key enables basic authentication for the Host tenant. The second key is optional but without it added, the host tenant will be inaccessible.
