We want all users in our Jira and Confluence Data Center environments to login directly via SSO. In production (Jira 9.12.22), we're using the Microsoft SSO add-on, which allows for SSO enforcement while still supporting a local admin login bypass, which is required for tasks like updating the LDAP bind password.
However, in our Dev environment, where I'm testing SSO in Jira 10.3.7 without the Microsoft add-on, I haven't found a reliable way to bypass SSO. The instructions in the linked article recommend disabling local login accounts, which appears to block access entirely.
Although I have a local admin account, when I try to access the Authentication Methods section, I receive the following error:
403 - Forbidden: You don’t have permission to access this page.
How can I re-enable or regain access to the local admin account in this scenario so I can perform critical administrative tasks?
