Viewing Helix mode and SSO authentication mode using the CLI

Prev Next

Helix mode can be viewed by an appliance Admin user logged in to the CLI of any Helix appliance in the IAM organization.

Prerequisites
  • Admin access to a Helix appliance CLI.

To view Helix mode and SSO authentication mode:
  1. Log in to a Helix appliance CLI.

  2. Go to enable mode.

    hostname > enter
  3. To display Helix configuration settings, including SSO authentiation mode, use the show helix command.

    • In this example, the appliance is not operating as a Helix appliance. Helix mode and SSO authentication are disabled, which are the default settings:

      hostname # show helix
      
        Helix Configurations:
          Enabled               : no
          Mode                  : cloud
          Single Sign-On        : disabled
          Console URL           : http:///google.com
          Alert Sync Enabled    : yes
          Alert Sync From       : 0 days old
          Alert Sync Max Count  : 10000
    • In this example, the appliance is not operating as a Helix appliance, Helix is enabled for cloud operation, and SSO authentication is disabled.

      hostname # show helix
      
        Helix Configurations:
          Enabled               : yes
          Mode                  : cloud
          Single Sign-On        : disabled
          Console URL           : http:///google.com
          Alert Sync Enabled    : yes
          Alert Sync From       : 0 days old
          Alert Sync Max Count  : 10000
    • In this example, the appliance is not operating as a Helix appliance. Helix mode is enabled for on-premises operation, and SSO authentication is required:

      hostname # show helix
      
        Helix Configurations:
          Enabled               : yes
          Mode                  : on-premises
          Single Sign-On        : required
          Console URL           : http:///google.com
          Alert Sync Enabled    : yes
          Alert Sync From       : 0 days old
          Alert Sync Max Count  : 10000
  4. Display SSO authentication mode.

    In this example, SSO authentication for the Web UI is disabled, which is the default setting.

    hostname # show aaa authentication oidc
    OIDC based authentication settings: 
      Web Policy                  : disabled
      ID-token field for username : oidc-preferred-username
