Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to switch the authentication method?

In my case when I clicked on the button then two conditions when the condition is true then open the **username and password** screen like below

When the condition is false then open **badge** on the below screen

Any idea how to set this in perspective?

Thanks,

Hi Priyanka,

Unfortunately, authentication happens before startup, which I believe is the soonest your condition would be able to run. Also gateway settings such as the IDP are not able to be changed on the fly within the project.
