Hi @Debasis Pati 

You can create a local account for them and disable SSO for that account, with a dedicated username and password. They can then log in using the local credentials instead of SSO.

Hi @Debasis Pati,

 

Your developer user records should not have anything in SSO source and LDAP Server fields.

 

Use (instance_url)/login.do to do local login.

Hello @Debasis Pati ,

 

Make ensure this "glide.authentication.external.disable_local_login" property is set to false :

as to Allows developers to bypass SSO and use the local login page

 

-> navigate to sys_user > open the developer records and set a Local Password for each.

-> Also Ensure using this url : https://<your-instance>://
