Authentication

Sign in with a local account, LDAP, or single sign-on.

If you are not signed in, the UI shows only the Login page.

SandsBytes login page

Sign in with username and password

  1. Open the SandsBytes URL in a supported browser.
  2. Enter Username and Password.
  3. Click Login.
  4. On success the workspace opens. New sessions land on Dashboard or the last module you used.

The password field includes a visibility toggle.

Default administrator account

Use these values only for the first sign-in after a new deploy.

Reset this password immediately on a production system. Do not leave the default password in place.

Directory and single sign-on

Local username and password is the default method. Administrators add other methods under Settings.

LDAPSame login form checks the directoryLDAP Configuration
SSOLogin with SSO appears on the login cardSSO Configuration

Keep an administrator session open before you enable Allow SSO Only, so you can turn it off if the identity provider is wrong.

Sign out

  1. Open profile in the top bar.
  2. Choose Logout.

The same menu also has Profile and API Docs.

Troubleshooting

  • Confirm the API is reachable from the browser.
  • Confirm the account is not disabled.
  • If LDAP or SSO fails, check the matching Settings page and the API logs.
  • Use Settings → Audit Log to see LOGIN events after you are signed in as an administrator.
