Description

Default

admin-sso-login-option {normal | sso-only}

Select which authentication methods to show on the GUI login page for administrators:

  • normal: Show both the username and password fields, and a single sign-on (SSO) link.

  • sso-only: Show only the SSO link.

    Caution: If you select this option, then the account named admin will not be able to log into the GUI; they must use SSH or local console access instead. Therefore this option can only be changed by administrators with the super_admin_prof permissions profile.

To authenticate each administrator, FortiMail uses the remote servers (if any) selected in auth-strategy {cloud | ldap | local | pki | radius | sso}.
