Logging in with a Local Account in Aria Operations when SSO Authentication is Enabled

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

The purpose of this article is to provide an alternate method to bypass the SSO login screen when:

• Aria Operations is configured to use SSO Authentication.
• SSO Authentication Source is offline, inaccessible, or mis-configured

Environment

VMware Aria Operations

Resolution

When SSO authentication is enabled, users are redirected to the SSO login screen to perform authentication.

To bypass the SSO login, you must use the URL:

https://IP or FQDN of Aria Operations/ui/login.action?skipSSO=true

Notes: You should be able to login with the default admin account, or any configured local or LDAP account

Local Admin Access is required for troubleshooting or configuration needs
