When configuring a portal with SSO authentication, it is common practice to disable the portal's login form and redirect users to the SSO login portal instead.

By default, the login form is enabled. Selecting the check box in the Credentials form section of the Authentication administration interface hides the login form if an SSO realm is configured.

It is possible to use the portal's login form even when the check box is selected by adding /login?direct=true to the portal's URL as in the following example:

http://my-site.fluidtopics.com/login?direct=true

The following login form is displayed where the user can sign in with SSO by selecting the key or enter credentials in the login form:

Direct login enabled on a portal with SSO authentication

Use case

If a single SSO realm is configured, end-users associated with that realm will be automatically redirected to the SSO login page. If an internal or LDAP realm is then configured to assign the ADMIN or DEBUG_USER role to one or more users, the presence of those users will prevent automatic redirection for all users of all realms. Disabling the login form restores redirection even if an internal or LDAP realm is configured.
