Enable or Disable a Security Service

The Composer supervisor can enable or disable a security authentication service.

Enable a Security Service

Enable a security authentication service

Log in as a system admin or a member of the Supervisors group.
Select Security from the UI menu.
The Security page appears. It consists of four tabs: Security Services, SAML Settings, LDAP Settings, and Kerberos Settings.
On the Security Services tab, turn on the appropriate switch (slide it to the right) for the authentication service you want to enable.
Select Save.

After the settings have been saved, the status of the authentication service changes to Will start on next restart.
Close the Composer UI.
Access the Linux prompt and log into your Composer server (via Secure Shell or SSH).
Restart the Composer server service. See Restart Composer Microservices.

Wait a few minutes for the Composer service to fully restart, then open a new browser window and log back in as the supervisor. Verify that your changes took effect. After restarting Composer, the authentication service status changes to Started.

Note: If you receive an error message stating that the connection to Composer could not be made, you may need to give it a little more time for the service to fully restart. If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
