Activating basic authentication

You can activate basic authentication for your
Automation Orchestrator
deployment by setting a system property.
The basic authentication of your
Automation Orchestrator
deployment is deactivated by default. In certain use cases you must activate this authentication by setting the
com.vmware.o11n.sso.basic-authentication.enabled
system property. For example, you must activate this system property if you are planning on using the
Automation Orchestrator
Multi-Node plug-in for deployments which are authenticated with
VMware Aria Automation
