You can activate basic authentication for your Automation Orchestrator deployment by setting a system property.

The basic authentication of your Automation Orchestrator deployment is deactivated by default. In certain use cases you must activate this authentication by setting the com.vmware.o11n.sso.basic-authentication.enabled system property. For example, you must activate this system property if you are planning on using the Automation Orchestrator Multi-Node plug-in for deployments which are authenticated with VMware Aria Automation.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Control Center as root.
  2. Select System Properties.
  3. Click New.
  4. Under Key, enter com.vmware.o11n.sso.basic-authentication.enabled.
  5. Under Value, enter true.
  6. (Optional) Enter a description for the new system property.
  7. Click Add, and wait for the Automation Orchestrator server to restart.
