Changing XTAM from a basic login prompt authentication to a login page

If you did not include the Federated Sign-In Services (CAS) component during the installation, this basic pop-up prompt is the expected login behavior.

This basic pop-up prompt is secure and is designed to handle both local and domain (if configured on the server) user authentication functionality.

You can login with this pop-up prompt using your xtamadmin user and the password you have created during the installation and proceed to use XTAM’s functionality.

This basic authentication is a valid option for all types of deployments that do not require advanced authentication options like MFA or SSO.

If you would like to switch your XTAM deployment to display a more traditional login page instead of the pop-up dialogue to authenticate users (optionally with MFA or SSO options), you need to install XTAM with its included Federated Sign-In component or deploy it after the installation.

 

 

Please note that to support the Federated Sign-In login page experience, you will need to access XTAM using a proper URI (not default localhost or an IP address) with a valid SSL certificate trusted by browsers, unlike the included self-signed certificate that generates browser warnings.

Here is the article describing how to replace XTAM’s default self-signed certificate with the trusted one obtained for the proper URI you assign to XTAM (such as xtam.company.com).
