Change the SAML Log In Configuration for the Chorus Administrator

After you have completely configured SAML, for additional security, you might want to disable

As administrator, if you have trouble with your SAML configuration and need to return to the administration panel, you can skip authentication by appending /?skip_saml=true to your Team Studio URL. (For example, http://mytsdsinstallation.mydomain.com/?skip_saml=true.) When SAML is fully configured, you can change the configuration to disable the ability to append the URL to skip authentication.

Edit this setting in the file chorus.properties on the computer where Team Studio is installed.

Prerequisites

You must have write access to the Team Studio server.

Procedure

  1. Stop the Chorus service.
  2. Open the file chorus.properties.
  3. Add the key saml_skip_saml_login_disabled=true.
  4. Restart the Chorus service.

What to do next

If you need to adjust your Authentication configuration, you must edit this setting again.
  1. Stop the Chorus service.
  2. Set the key saml_skip_saml_login_disabled=false.
  3. Restart the Chorus service.
  4. Log in as chorusadmin and make the configuration adjustments.
  5. Set saml_skip_saml_login_disabled=true.
  6. Restart the Chorus service.
