Technical Tip: How to fix authentication failure if FortiPAM requires to login via SAML

After the local user is created successfully and the user tries to login to FortiPAM GUI,

this error message can appear during authentication process:

Since the user is not a SAML user, this setting has to be checked from the CLI: 'set force-saml-login'

config system admin
    edit "local_test"
        set display-name ''
        set force-saml-login enable ------------> disable this feature
        set password ENC SH2xBT7TfyjjhbLcGsTOCAtiNVxIG+eLCIL6HUXTw54ND1OdXOdoYw86AvvxIM=
    next
end

After disabling this setting the authentication should be possible.
