Security features

This section describes ways to enable security features in Build Forge®:

  • Secure login, which is enabled by default during installation
  • Single sign-on (SSO)
  • Enabling HTTPS and SSL
  • Enabling password encryption
  • bfclient.conf file for security configurations

These features are enabled through a combination of selections in the management console at Administration > Security and manual setup of configuration files. This section includes a reference section on bfclient.conf, a configuration file used to enable security features.
