Admin Config
General Notes on Admin Config
Modifying the admin configuration is a real time operation that directly effects the operation of your Janus server. Be careful when changing settings, especially the security ones.
Security
Janus supports both a built-in authentication mechanism based on email and password as well as single sign on via OAuth2. The built-in authentication mechanism is enabled by default.
It is highly recommended that you leave the built-in authentication enabled until you have thoroughly tested your SSO config, disabling the built-in authentication could lock you out of the system if your SSO config is not correct. To help with this Janus supports running both configs at the same time.
Admin configs are managed at: http://<janus-host>/admin and requires the global admin permission.
