Disabling user authentication

To disable user authentication

You disable user authentication by running the configuration script in the same way as you ran it to enable user authentication. In other words, if authentication is enabled and you include --config-auth, then the script disables authentication.

1. Check if HA redundancy is currently enabled on the Conductor Live. If it is, disable it nowDisabling Conductor Live HA (high availability).

2. At your workstation, start a remote terminal session to the primary Conductor Live node.

3. At the Linux prompt, log in with the elemental user credentials.

4. Change to the directory where the configuration script is located, then enter the configure command :

   [elemental@hostname ~]$ cd /opt/elemental_se
   [elemental@hostname elemental_se]$ sudo ./configure --config-auth

5. Answer the prompts as follows:

   Prompt	Value to enter
   Httpd must be restarted, which may interrupt REST commands. Restart now?	Y
   Do you wish to update the admin user?	N

   When you return to the web interface, you are not prompted to log in, and the menu to enable or disable node authentication on the worker nodes has disappeared.

6. The configure command in the previous step disables user authentication but leaves HTTPS enabled. Therefore, if you also want to disable HTTPS, enter the configure command as follows:

   [elemental@hostname elemental_se]$ sudo ./configure --https --skip-all

7. If applicable, re-enable HA.
