To change the authentication mode that the PingDataGovernance Policy Administration GUI uses, re-run the setup tool and choose a different authentication mode. This action overwrites the PingDataGovernance Policy Administration GUI's existing configuration.

  1. Stop the Policy Administration GUI. 
    $ bin/stop-server
  2. Run the setup command and select a different authentication mode.
    The modes are:

    • Demo mode

      Configures the PingDataGovernance Policy Administration GUI to use form-based authentication with a fixed set of credentials. Unlike OIDC mode, this mode does not require an external authentication server. However, it is inherently insecure and is recommended only for demonstration purposes.

    • OpenID Connect (OIDC) mode

      Configures the PingDataGovernance Policy Administration GUI to delegate authentication and sign-on services to an OpenID Connect provider, such as PingFederate.

    $ bin/setup
  3. Start the Policy Administration GUI. 
    $ bin/start-server
