Is it possible to disable login for dynadmin of ATG?


We use dynamo administration of ATG frequently to test the changes done to various other components. Is there any way to disable login for opening Dynamo Administration? Many times we observed that it asks the credentials multiple times. Any guesses as to why it does that and how to avoid that?


Solution

  • After some digging in, I have found a better approach. The much simpler way of disabling the authentication is by disabling authentication in AuthenticationServlet.

    To acheive this DYNAMO_HOME/localconfig/atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AuthenticationServlet.properties file must have the content shown below.

    $class=atg.servlet.pipeline.BasicAuthenticationPipelineServlet
    enabled=false
    

    Basic Authentication Pipeline Servlet is the class that is redirecting the authentication to other components, by changing enabled=false, we can disable the authentication. Changing it to true will enable the authentication as before.
