Accessing the Native Connect Login Page When Login Bypass Is Enabled

As part of the SAML Authentication configuration, administrators can enable a setting that bypasses the Connect login page and automatically redirects users to the Identity Provider (IdP).

While this improves the sign-in experience for most users, there may be situations where access to the native Connect login page is required. For example:

  • Logging in with a native (non-SSO) administrator account
  • Troubleshooting SSO configuration issues
  • Accessing Connect when the IdP is temporarily unavailable

This page explains how to access the native login page when automatic login bypass is enabled.

When the login page is bypassed​

When Bypass Connect login page is enabled in the SAML authentication settings:

  • Users who visit the standard Connect login URL are automatically redirected to the IdP
  • The native username and password login form is not displayed

Forcing access to the native login page​

To bypass the automatic redirect and display the native Connect login page, you can append a query parameter to the login URL.

URL parameter: force_native_login=true

Example:

https://example.com/q/login?force_native_login=true
https://example.com/q/login/admin?force_native_login=true

When this parameter is present:

  • The automatic redirect to the IdP is disabled for that request
  • The native Connect login page is displayed
  • Users can sign in using a native Connect account

This does not change any configuration settings and only applies to the current login attempt.

Important notes

  • This option is intended for administrative or troubleshooting use
  • It does not disable SSO or the login bypass setting globally
  • The parameter must be included each time you want to access the native login page while bypass is enabled
